Total embarrassment. Russia performance has been a disgrace. The fact that they lost the first Chechen war against a region with 1.4 million people , was a tell tale sign of how dog shit their army. Even though they won the second one, the average Chechen KDR ratio was far more then what Russians were getting, indicating how piss poor the average russian is. Keep in mind NATO wasn't helping the Chechen people.
Imagine how much better Ukraine is fighting with top tier NATO equipment and USA helping out. Even if Russia somehow can fight with attrition warfare tactics, its gonna fruitless when America and NATO are sending in tens of billions of dollars each year. America already sent 54 Billion to ukraine.
