Otherwise, the Ukrainian military is in a poor position now partly because during the Yuschenko years the officer corps was thoroughly purged of the "old guard", I.e. officers raised by the Soviet experience and thus seen as politically unreliable. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what side that "old guard" might be taking after being forced out of their positions in the Ukrainian army

I sort of considered the option that Ukrainian army is not really well organized and motivated.
Yet when I hear about Ukrainian planes shot down , rebels causing heavy casualties with coordination with artillery using AT weapons , relatively fast territorial gains after some setbacks it makes me a bit wonder what is going on there.
Besides , it would be ridiculous if Russia wasn't deep in this...
Strangely the more the Ukrainians try to mobilize and push the more effective balanced resistance they face.
Looks odd...after all it all should be hastily organized militia Ukrainians are fighting.
