Whilst with other Russian reports, it would appear this retired Police Captain of 15 years service, may well be the face of the majority of Russians. If this is so, then it appears this war is Mr. Putin's war and not of the Russian people. in this manner, also relates directly of the failures experienced by many of the Russian solders reluctance to shoot Ukrainian opposition solders.
This whole thing is a bit overly strange from the stalled Russian logistics support vehicles making them selves a target from arial fighter planes to over run by Ukrainian troops. With this, a seemingly separation in lack of air superiority to failure of coordination between air and ground support. this then a glaring lack of tank protection troops for coordination between tanks as the spear point and cutting edge with tank troops to protect the tanks and for clearing enemy troop positions.
But then, my self am in a different department and a world apart from military tactics, just simple logic

Karl,
It is a very strange, tragic, dramatic and unnecessary war between 2 East-Slavic, Orthodox brother peoples. The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy's (born 25 January 1978) first language is Russian, and he is also fluent in Ukrainian and English. Zelenskyy grew up as a native Russian speaker in Kryvyi Rih, a major city of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in central Ukraine. As president, Zelenskyy has been a proponent of e-government and unity between the Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking parts of the country's population.
I see this conflict, destruction, bloodshed and the dying of children, elderly, women and men as deeply tragic. If you look at victims in the ethnical sense it is a multicultural drama. Ethnic Ukrainians, Ethnic Russians, ethnic Greeks, ethnic Poles, ethnic Slovaks, ethnic Jews, ethnic Hungarians, ethnic Tartars, ethnic Romanians, ethnic Moldovans, ethnic Bulgarians, ethnic Gagauz people (Christian Turkic people), ethnic Armenians and ethnic Georgians and etc.
The killed ethnic Russians in Ukraine and the encounter of Russian soldiers with Russian women, children, elderly, men and women who oppose this war as Ukrainian citizens also gives the Russian soldiers and officers a low morale. It as if they kill their own mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces, their own friends, neighbours and colleagues. Also encountering ethnic Ukrainians who speak Russian to them is difficult for them. It is hard for these Russian men and boys who see this war not as their war, but as the war of Putin, the Kremlin and the Russian elite of Russian oligarchs, Putin's silovik's (politicians who came into politics from the security, military, or similar services, often the officers of the former KGB, GRU, FSB, SVR, FSO, the Federal Drug Control Service, or other armed services who came into power), "securocrats" (law enforcement and intelligence officers), "careerists", nomenklatura and apparatchiks (professional functionary of Putin's United Russia in the Russian Federation or the Russian government (Kremlin) apparat (аппарат, apparatus), someone who held any position of bureaucratic or political responsibility in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg or Novosibirsk).
Nobody speaks about the fact that Ukraine produces food for 600 million people on it's furtile soil and that this crisis has food supply risks, a shortage of food in the world next to the nuclear, radio active, energy, Financial and economical risks.
Russia’s attack on Ukraine could lead to a major food crisis by disrupting current supply chains and further advancing Moscow and China’s influence in global markets.
War between Ukraine and Russia will likely make the world's hunger crisis even tougher to fight. The countries are two of the world's major suppliers of staple grains like wheat, and a protracted crisis increases the likelihood of supply interruptions and higher food prices for many people -- including those who can least afford them.
