@richardramirez2557 Except the south and east of Ukraine is ethnically Russian. A lot of people in Mariupol for example are quite glad the Azov battalion has been destroyed.

@MrMezmerized No the difference is, Russia is not sending conscripts - Ukraine is. So yes, they both have a manpower problem but Ukraine is fighting a total war, Russia is still fighting with a peacetime army. The Ukrainian economy is collapsing, the Russian state is running a budgetary surplus.

The guy is just making up rubbish. Russian servicemen in Ukraine are not conscripts at all - they're contract soldiers ie. professionals. The conscripts are most of the Ukrainians - and most of the DPR and LPR soldiers. And the DPR and LPR guys are fighting for their homeland even more than most of the Ukrainians - because it's their own area they're fighting in. Let's give him a pass for saying Peter the Great is an architect of the Soviet Union - I think he meant Russia. It's his analysis of the war which is the real problem.
