I wonder how many might defect once inside Ukraine. I know ZERO about war or Russia but is this a possibility? I can't imagine being a Russian soldier staged on the border in winter for weeks. Where do they sleep? Eat? Get warm? For what? To die in an unprovoked attack?

Yes, but untrained, drunk soldiers can be quite lethal and efficient. Eg, interahamwe in Rwanda, 1994 (obv very diff context and conflict - genocide vs invasion). But don’t assume disheveled, undisciplined troops are going to be easy to neutralize.

If it wasn't for drunk Russian troops, my grandmother might never have been sneaked by them to escape the Russian zone back to her family in Frankfurt after surviving the Ravensbruck concentration camp.

Those poor people are living in constant fear, in a cruel dictatorship, trying to survive. They haven't been consulted in this whole century. This is why L. needs P.
