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.
