So what about the ppl living in the Donbas area? They’re Russian speaking and they’re staying there. Basically, if they live in western Ukraine, they fight for Ukraine. In eastern Ukraine they support Russia. That’s not “enthusiastic support” for a corrupt country with brutal nationalists in charge. And how do you know that Russians are deserting in greater numbers than Ukrainian soldiers? The voices in your head aren’t a credible source BTW.
You are completely missing the fact that 50% of Ukraine's army is composed of ethnic Russians, who on recordings are cursing out the Russian invaders. They are angry that Putin has brought war with misery, devastation, and death to their neighborhoods.
