From what I saw their morale is pretty much destroyed already. It was probably never there to begin with except maybe special forces.

Maybe it is because I am not a soldier, but I would need a pretty strong reason to fight a war. One that really makes me want to fight.

Even if you factor in Russian nationalism I doubt that many russian soldiers really believe their involvment in Ukraine helps their country.
