Even if it was, you can't just grab people off the street and throw them into combat. It takes like a year to do basic military training. Part of the reason AFU is currently collapsing is because it's increasingly filled with conscripts who don't want to fight and don't have the skills necessary. On the flip side, Russian army is seasoned and motivated.
