So for the second time in a week, Colonel Douglas Macgregor is on Redacted absolutely slaughtering Trump about the Ukraine deal. As usual, talking up how great the Russians are. Disappointed as I liked this guy, maybe this is why he is not in the cabinet. Now saying no one gets appointed by Trump unless Israel approves.

OK granted. The reason I gave the Kursk example, is that there was evidence of Lots of Nationalities - arranged in language-specific battalions. It was not just the 'spent and under-trained' conscripts, as you say. There were a good number of NATO dudes there to handle the NATO gear.
Also the Ukrainians that were involved in the rear, were the Shock-troops - if you like - the ones with the 1930's ideology. But, there definitely was a quotient of fresh conscript meat, judging by PoW testimonies.
So it's a matter of degree.
