Subverting Ukraine would mean to sow so much division internally that a sizable minority of the defending force would be motivated to defect to the other side and to compromise their countrymen. But in actual reality Russia faces a highly motivated and bitterly angry defensive force with a high morale.[1] And those same Ukrainians ousted a democratically elected (although eventually repressive and violent) pro-Russian government just eight years prior.
