Okay, by trying to operate all that (mostly incredibly crappy) equipment and massive conscript reserves in a hostile country all at once means just burning up your fuel and food much faster, leaving your equipment stranded and your soldiers deserting. You wouldn’t think logistics would be a problem just 100 or 200 miles away from your own de facto borders, but here we are.
I’m sure Ukraine appreciates all the weapons Russia is donating to them, though.

And their capture of Ukraine will only solidify that. Soldiers and tanks are cheap. Su-57's and pilots are not. >You wouldn’t think logistics would be a problem just 100 or 200 miles away from your own de facto borders, but here we are. This is week 1 of an invasion that is going to last for years. Moving that kind of tonnage just physically takes time no matter what.

Some Ukrainian bureaucrat with a sense of humor has done their part to declare the acquisition of Russian tanks and equipment is not a taxable event: https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/804441.html https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/804441.html
