I can only hope that this is not so easy for Russia on a broader scale. I think a lot of Ukraine's success comes from the motivation of the single soldiers and units. The motivation to adapt, to improve, to implement new tactics and ideas. I don't know if this motivation is really existing in so many parts of the Russian army right now. Yes, I know, a few of them are really active trying to change their ways and not all of the Russians are stupid, I just hope that the majority of them is too much of a passive grunt for this to happen. But maybe I am only coping when I am hoping that their morale and motivation is crumbling.
Ukrainians have way better morale and also more flexibility since they're not as top down as the Russians.
They're also defending themselves from barbarian invaders.
