yawn, people are retarded. Ukraine was/is the 2nd largest military in Europe behind only Russia. Its no surprise to anyone, Russia included, that this isnt a cake walk (well I suppose tards are surprised). I mean...they owned the place for the last century, you dont think they know what kinda equipment they left behind?

If Russia declared war and could begin conscription things may have gone faster but they did not. But remember, even big daddy USA needed conscription to fight little old Vietnam and even that didnt pan out, so who knows
