Yeah. And Russian soldiers were trained by Russians in Russia with Russian weapons.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian soldiers trained in numerous NATO countries by different methodologies, different weapons etc. This leads to disasters on the battlefield.
An excerpt from, "The Afghan Military Was Built Over 20 Years. How Did It Collapse So Quickly?" New York Times, August 13, 2021:
But even before that, the systemic weaknesses of the Afghan security forces — which on paper numbered somewhere around 300,000 people, but in recent days have totaled around just one-sixth of that, according to U.S. officials — were apparent. These shortfalls can be traced to numerous issues that sprung from the West’s insistence on building a fully modern military with all the logistical and supply complexities one requires, and which has proved unsustainable without the United States and its NATO allies.
An excerpt from, "How the Afghan Army Collapsed Under the Taliban’s Pressure" By Max Boot, CFR, August 16, 2021:
The fall of Afghanistan rightly raises serious questions about the mistakes the United States made during its twenty-year effort to train the Afghan military. The U.S. armed forces will need to process lessons learned, and there will need to be a great deal of critical self-examination. The U.S. training effort had many shortcomings, such as deficiencies in language and cultural knowledge and lack of expertise in training police rather than soldiers, which hurt local-level security. In addition, the U.S. effort concentrated too much on teaching tactical infantry skills while neglecting the kind of higher-level expertise in logistics, planning, training, and command and control that is needed to maintain a military force.
The U.S. training effort was also hindered by factors beyond its control, including the lack of education in one of the world’s poorest countries and the pervasiveness of corruption. As a police officer in Kandahar recently told the New York Times, “We are drowning in corruption.”
