I do worry as to the skill set of those troops in the line and how many battle hardened Western trained troops from 2014 and on they have left, it’s okay throwing fresh troops in there, but it’s the highly skilled and capable troops you need, that said the latest wave of Russians may well not be up to the task, time will tell.
