Reports from war analysts reveal that Russian soldiers in the Ukraine war are hungry, without drinking water, lacking in warm winter clothing, running out of fuel for their vehicles, running low on ammunition and are using rusting equipment from the cold war era.
The most pathetic thing i heard was that rhe soldiers are asking their girlfriends, wives , mothers ,sisters back in Russia to send them women's tampons to use to staunch bullet wounds from bleeding, as the soldiers have not been issued first aid kits and have nothing to stop their wounded comrades from bleeding to death on the battlefield.
Back in Russia women are raising money to buy their loved ones in the army,sleeping bags,food,effective body armor and socks as these are in very short supply also...Soldiers have taken to wrapping their feet in layers of cloth before putting on their boots because they don't have enough socks ...
The Oligarchs' running Russia seem to have forgotten that an army needs their feet and their stomachs taken care of to perform as effectively as they have been trained... but these conscripted Russians are also complaining that they have received little to any training before being thrown into the meat grinder that is the front lines.
Apparently the billions that Putin has spent on upgrading and modernizing the Russian army have been skimmed by the Oligarchs in the Kremlin and basic maintenance on tanks ,trucks and planes has not been done as Putin trusted his billionaire buddies to do. The reports say that the Elite tank units that Putin had planned on using in any possible war against NATO...the tanks broke down due to poor maintenance...
When very early in the war, two advanced Russian fighter jets fell out of the sky in Ukraine war without being hit by anything from the air or ground...British intelligence concluded Russian military had big maintenance problems thst would seriously limit their effectiveness in Ukraine. it was British intelligence that discovered through satellite photos that Russian resupplying convoy trucks were backed up for forty miles ...one of the reasons Ukraine army shifted their focus from attacking Russian soldiers to attacking Russian supply lines greatly intensifying supply problems and maintenance problems Russian army was already experiencing.
Putin's future as leader of Russia is tied to the loyalty of the Russian army ...and they are feeling BETRAYED...gr
