I think those conscripts are victims of Putin too. To my point: They've been in weeks of combat NW of Kyiv. Now they get laded onto trucks, driven six or eight hundred miles tp debark, regroup (with many strangers from other units), try to get a hot meal and a cot, and then go into action.
Those guys will be tired. The question is who is more tired?
