Yes, some of them really want to fight, and will. (Some don’t, and won’t.)
But the professional army outside of the Donbass, no longer exists, as such.
The Ukraine apologists here are not going to like that.

How do you explain these apparent incompetents driving back the invincible Soviet Red Army?
