Conscripts have even less training and most are restricted to logistics tasks and logistics has been one of the Russians' biggest fails.
And the rumours are they are not being paid, so they are selling off their own equipment and resources to the Ukrainian public.
There is a political rumour going around that Russia primary motivation is economic, they want to the Ukraine to become dependant on Russian resources, this is rationalised by the weirdness of the attacks of the Ukraine power stations. Basically, Russia has taken them offline and tried to put them in a state that will see them as unserviceable for many years, but then allowed the workers to return to the sites to ensure the safety and security is maintained around the waste piles.
