Explains why so many of them surrendered or got killed. They don't know what they are doing, and they don't want to be there

Russia is imploding, I think that might be a reason they're trying to gain more land, resources, and citizens by conquering another land.

  They ran a deficit for the Crimean war. The regions they captured required more money for maintenance than they got back.
  
  Russia is already the biggest country in the world, with the largest amount of resources oil, timber, gas, minerals etc.
  
  These two things combined, it makes no financial sense to start the war. That's without even getting into the financial sanctions.

Few young people are psychologically equipped for real war thanks to a decade or more of "social media"

  Yeah. Who wants to volunteer to jump into a meat grinder ?
  
  If anything, this shows how bad things used to be. Before, normal life was miserable and the glory of dying for your country seemed like a good idea.
