I didn't have direct experience with Russian forces, but I do know a lot of people that did joint operations with them. Their equipment is dogshit. Their vehicles were usually not running and they were constantly trying to barter for parts, fuel, or working on them. They were undergeared and always trying to trade with our guys for new boots, warm weather gear, wet weather gear, ect.
Their soldiers are mostly young kids that are genuinely nice, but underpaid or not paid at all, and just doing what they are told. If you watch the sunflower lady video you see the soldier she's talking to is trying to defuse the situation with her and you can tell he probably doesn't want to be there. I'm sure when you combine those facts with most of these soldiers either having friends or family in Ukraine and I'm sure morale is a massive issue for the Russian forces at the moment.
