My take of the Ukrainian army vis a vis the Russian army is this:
The Ukrainian soldiers are better led, better trained, better armed and better motivated than the Russians.
It's the leadership and motivation that are the true hidden-in-plain-sight cards for Ukraine.
I'd be willing to wager that there are elements of Russian intelligence that are fully aware of that, but nobody is going to tell the Czar about that. For people who displease this Czar tend to have unfortunate gravitational accidents. And nothing would displease him more than being told that his entire war was built on a foundation of delusions.
This could be a very interesting year in eastern Europe.
