    Is it possible they are fighting to protect their freedoms and their families? Honor and glory is nice and all but I’d imagine that most of them aren’t Game of Thrones characters.

      No, none of that is at stake. Russia has better labor rights than Ukraine. So if they cared about their families, especially the people in the region in question, they would be slfighting for russia.

        I have to push back on “none of that is at stake.”

        When Russia sends missiles and drones into Kiev that hit civilian buildings, homes, and kill regular people on a daily/weekly basis, is the message they are receiving “Russia has better labor rights than Ukraine?”
