Lots of video coming from Ukrainians of abandoned Russian equipment and vehicles with no attempts made to destroy or render them useless. That lends some credence to the rumors that alot of the Russian forces being sent in right now are rookies who aren't really looking to fight.

This even goes for some of the troops at the Hostomel airport battle.

Read somewhere that’s why the Russians painted a “Z” on their tanks and equipment.

@haynesdeborah (Sky News)

NEW: Ukraine's Armed Forces believe more than 60 Russian battalion tactical groups – the equivalent of between 30,000 to 60,000 troops - have been deployed on Ukrainian territory, according to an update on the invasion as of 8pm
It said the “enemy has an extremely low morale”


That was retweeted by Rob Lee and he followed up with this:

This is such an interesting conflict to observe. There’s gotta be more to it.

Interesting. Definitely lends credence to other reports that Russian troops had no idea they were supposed to actually kill Ukrainians.

How about this? People streaming across our southern border are immediately put on truck and taken for training to fight the coming war.

On the ground it has to be a bitch to know friend vs foe in a lot of instances.

Some of the captured Russian soldiers had red tape around their legs and arms.

They've been using that technique in Ukraine for years

I'd be willing to bet there are a bunch of former operators working as "security" providing Intel and getting high value people out of the country.

Definitely wouldn't be surprising. Lot of young people in the forces, I dont think they see Putin's point in all this (understandably)

@kaitlancollins
In a video statement, Ukrainian President Zelensky says the enemy has marked him as the number one target. "They want to destroy Ukraine politically by destroying the head of state. We have information that enemy sabotage groups have entered Kyiv." Says he will remain.


Thats heavy

Imagine some kid from Vladivostok being dragged around the world to fight a war where there is no reason to actually fight.

I guess they may have been told Ukraine would lay down as propaganda but seriously if you are invading another sovereign country then yeah you should expect a fight lol. Wonder if these are conscripts or volunteers doing the initial invasion.

The captured soldiers pictured several pages back were from Dagestan. If you follow UFC, you know that's where Khabib Nurmegomedov(sp?) is from. It's an impoverished, Islamic Russian state to the south. I may be wrong, but I just can't see the people from there as hard-core nationalists on the macro level.
