I can see how difficult it is to convince the common soldier on the greater good of their mission.On top of that, I've seen several stories of Russian soldiers saying they were lied to about the mission, not fighting because they don't want to kill these people, etc.
Putin may be only partially human, but his soldiers aren't like him.
Most Russians do not hate the Ukrainians. They are very similar culturally. There was no Pearl Harbor or 9-11 to motivate the troops…..just Putin’s say so
