Demoralized and desperate: Russian soldiers' downward spiral

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

Ukrainian defenders are successfully repelling attacks by Russian invaders, leading to low morale among Russian soldiers. The Russian military is characterized by low professionalism and high demoralization.

Abuses against civilians and mutual attacks among Russian units are commonplace. Due to this, many soldiers commit desertion or destroy their own equipment.

Russian soldiers often engage in theft and looting. Sometimes, the lack of supplies forces them to seek food from the local population. There are known cases of Russian military personnel robbing stores or asking Ukrainians for fuel for their military vehicles.

Those who survived and returned from the front behave scandalously, as seen in a video on social media.

Russia, Novgorod. The "hero" of the "special military operation" returned without a leg and is terrorizing the local population - reads the description of the video on YouTube.

In the short video shared on platform X, we see that the Russian breaks the bars of a store. However, he has trouble maintaining balance, likely because he lost his 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 the conflict.

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