Don't troops have to believe they are fighting for something?
This was thing that struck me about the video of the Ukrainian woman challenging the armed soldier and telling him to put sunflower seeds in his pockets so something Ukrainian would grow when he fell. His responses were that of person very much doing their job, not of person who had real conviction or belief in it.

A tank literally turned and intentionally trampled over a car with a Ukrainian in yesterday.
There seems to be a of a lot of stretching for optimistic narratives going on. Which is understandable given the bleak reality. But I find it hard to fathom how people can latch onto this idea that Russia have miscalculated because they haven’t finished their objective in 2 days. Or that they forgot to bring enough fuel?!

Suggestion from a Ukrainian being interviewed in Kiev that Russian army are deliberately emptying the fuel out of their tanks so they don't have to fight.
