The GP didn't specifically call out Russia, seems reasonable that they may very well have had Russia + allies in mind. It is worth noting that many countries have poured money, weapons, training, and in all likelihood special forces combat troops into Ukraine. Ukraine clearly has the numbers and devotion to fight a long, deadly fight that has in some areas devolved into WWI-era trench warfare. It isn't as simple as the Russians struggling with a 3rd rate power, however that is measured. Ukraine has the numbers and the will, allies provided resources/training/intel, and Ukraine had the tactical advantage of protecting their homeland rather than being the invading force. |

I think this was the reason of majority of their success: citizens mobilized and dug into the ground in the lines of defense, which stopped invasion.
