Russian troop training vs Ukraine troop training.

All the recent news about Putins announcement. Here how the two sides measure up regarding troop trusting.

Ukraine has 10,000 civilians going through military training in the UK in groups of around 200 over a 4 week course with army and artillery instructors covering
Field medics, field artillery, clearing buildings, assaults etc
At the end they get helmets and bullet proof vests before returning to Ukraine.
Ukraine is fighting for its life.

Russia has 300,000 civilians, none of whom want to fight.
They get 5 days training with an AK47. Limited ammo and then onto the battle field with faulty weapons and no logistical support.

at most Russia has weapons' for 150,000 and it may take 6 months at best before they can be deployed. Secret paragraph 7 allows up to 1 million troops, but I doubt Russia can afford it.
