How much defense does Russia even have at this point? They seem to be banking on their nukes to defend them.

Well, that's a question mostly Russia itself and maybe US/UK intelligence can tell you.

Also, there is the question of quality. I am sure Russia has a quantity of troops left, but given that they have to scrape the barrel with prisoners and people forced into service, I am not very sure about the quality. Lack of time for training, lack of experience, lack of proper selection. And that's all before we're at the state of the equipment.
