Speaking to a Lviv based colleague on the phone today. He signed up to fight last week but is still waiting to be called in. He said the reason for the wait is that the Ukrainian army's intake system is log jammed with recruits and they don't want to send insufficiently trained soldiers into battle. In his words; not wanting to use them as cannon fodder.
Not sure what my point is, but it seems to me that Russia is facing the limits of their capacity, they will probably have resort to coercion to get more soldiers down to the front, while Ukraine still has a supply of fresh recruits that are fully rested, well fed and are aching to get out and fight.
