It's good to remember that everything Ukraine posts is more or less straight up propaganda, and that the difference in morale causes creates differences in what people will complain about. Ukrainians aren't likely to post videos about their crappy gear.
Doesn't mean there isn't a real difference of course, there's plenty of evidence that Russian troops are being sent out with incredibly subpar equipment. But I wouldn't take what the Ukrainians are posting as the reality of their average.
