I have a feeling many of them weren’t actually soldiers until after the war started. The bulk of the lifers were positioned near the Crimea.

The bulk of the lifers were stationed near the Donbas. There was one brigade watching Crimea, but their senior officers were bought and they were out of position and unable to block the tank rush up the highway.

Correct. I know of OT geeks who headed back to be such soldiers. Their job is shoot and scoot and leave the more intense fighting to real soldiers
