Apparently a lot of the Russian troops are conscripts.
Ukraine does too, but they have both the home field advantage and the strong motivation to protect their homeland.
I think it's likely that even the higher ranks have no plan in place because a) they don't know why they're attacking Ukraine either and b) they didn't expect such strong resistance from the outset. I suppose if I was deployed to a country to kill nazis but only found angry babushkas telling me to fuck off home in between throwing petrol bombs at me, I'd be a little confused too.
