    Why the hell would you send your less effective soldiers in first?

        Proving defense makes sense, but winning a war quickly would matter more.

      For the same reason, when you're trying to give the opposition a "way out", you don't start out by murdering whole towns full of people.

      Idk, but in Zelensky's position you gotta know you're screwed if Russia decides to bring out the big guns. Could be a negotiation tactic. They have far more modern and advanced vehicles, weapons, and equipment up their sleeves as well as way more troops.

        If he doesn't give a shit about Ukrainians then he could just refuse to negotiate seriously and then run a government in exile while the country descends into chaos, dragging Russia down.
