    Russia will never be able to mobilize like Ukraine. Ukrainians have a just cause and they’re defending themselves.

      I agree that Ukraine is obviously better motivated and have just cause. But unfortunately Russians believe they have just cause too, because they are pumped with propaganda daily, claiming Ukrainians and NATO are the bad guys, and that Russia is fighting for their right to their own protection.
      They even claim NATO started this! Somehow forcing the hand of Russia because reasons?

      AFAIK 3:1 is minimum requirement for Ukraine to match Russia. Then we can hope Russia is forced to quit for reasons other than military.

        Not all Russians believe the Kremlin’s lies, and even fewer are willing to die for them.
