"And they were delighted for the opportunity to serve! Plus they even brought their own weapons and ammo! And their moms sewed them all nice, new uniforms! And we had ice cream! It was wonderful!"

The question I have is: why does the mighty Russia need to replenish 500,000 soldiers. Something not going according to plan fighting little old Ukraine?
