Yeah, I've read that to everyone’s great surprise, the Ukrainian soldiers performed quite well. you just never know how a country will react in wartime.
Russia could pour in the tanks and jets but occupation is expensive, and they're broke

Putin played the long game in Chechnya and ultimately succeeded because the Russian people were willing to keep paying the price. The Ukrainians aren’t hijacking Russian airplanes, seizing theaters full of people, or slaughtering elementary school children though.
