I think some people here are confusing the Russian army of 2022 with the Red Army of 1944.

The Ukrainian logistical advantage is going to become far more important during winter operations. But don't try talking logistics to a lot of the pro-Russian posters here....

I was trying to find how many people Russia lost to the cold in WWII but couldn’t find it.

People keep talking about Russia in WWII as though they were brilliant and great war geniuses, but in reality, they died by the tens of millions, so it seemed to be that they merely survived under an unyielding dictator.

For all we know Russia lost millions or at least many 100s of thousands to the cold.

Your point about Russians and cold not being the same for primitive outdoor working Russians of the 1930s and 40s and urban TV watching Russians of 2022 is very true.

We’ll see how that logistics advantage works in a month or so. Russia is currently sending train loads of troops in to Belarus, not just a couple 1000. They have moved tons of gas, diesel and jet fuel to at least 3 parts of their boarder. Not sure what the Russian troop build up is, probably pretty large. Only know about the Belarus one because it was confirmed by their president. There are most likely others in Russia proper.

Let’s not count our chickens to early, this ain’t over.

Then there’s all the formerly enlisted reserves that they called up, they are all former military. Similar to our military system, you can get called back up within such a period of time. Yet the western media would have you believe, the are just general people conscripted, what BS.

Take a grain of salt, it’s looking that Russia has only started.

Logistics AND logic as well, so it appears.
