Russian soldiers in chaos: Low morale and rising desertion

In the context of the war in Ukraine, there are various reports about the actions of Russian soldiers. Those who survived and returned from the front behave disgracefully, as seen in one of the videos on social media.

Ukrainian defenders effectively repel attacks by Russian invaders, resulting in low morale among Russian soldiers. The Russian military is characterised by a low level of professionalism and high demoralisation.

Abuses against civilians and mutual attacks among Russian units are a daily occurrence. Consequently, many soldiers resort to desertion or destroying their own equipment.

Russian soldiers often resort to theft and robbery. The lack of supplies sometimes forces them to search for food from the local population. There are known cases of Russian troops looting shops or asking Ukrainians for fuel for their military vehicles.

Russia, Novgorod. "Hero" of the "special military operation" returned without a leg and is terrorising the local population - we read in the description of the video on YouTube.

In the short video shared on platform X, we see that the Russian breaks the bars from the shop. However, he has trouble maintaining his balance, likely because he lost a leg during the war and now wears a prosthetic.

The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over two years. During this time, hundreds of videos have appeared online showing how unprepared the Russians are for conflict.

We are fleeing, I don't know where. We no longer have the strength. [We've been here] for three days without food, water, or support - said Russian soldier Oleg Vlasin in a short recording. - Everyone is mutilated. I don't know what to do next. I can't move my legs, and I want to live - he added.
