That is a nice report although we should remember somewhat anecdotal. Most troops are in the east and there tend to be more demoralization among recently drafted Ukrainians sitting around in trenches, whereas the elite UA units are happy to be on the offense. But I agree with the fundamental observation that there's a heck more to fight for for the average Ukrainian.
