In Friday's comments, Mr Putin threatened a "more serious" response if Ukrainian attacks continue.
"I remind you that the Russian army isn't fighting in its entirety... Only the professional army is fighting."

Question: If the "Russian professional army" is having this much trouble in Ukraine, what does Putin expect to accomplish with conscripted troops who will have little training and no motivation to fight? It's my understanding that the Russian people aren't exactly clamoring to enlist in the army right now.
