EPA-EFE/ZURAB KURTSIKIDZE

The British Ministry of Defence said Russian forces are suffering from morale and discipline issues in addition to combat fatigue and high casualties.

According to the ministry, one of the main problems for the deployed soldiers continues to be a problem with their pay.

"The Russian military has consistently failed to provide basic entitlements to troops deployed in Ukraine, including appropriate uniform, arms and rations, as well as pay," the ministry claimed. "This has almost certainly contributed to the continued fragile morale of much of the force," it added.
