She said that Russia is also trying to undermine Ukraine’s ability to track conflicts, adding that Kyiv’s economy has suffered a lot. “Obviously this can have an impact over time.
Their strength will depend on how hard they attack, what they’re capable of, how resilient their critical infrastructure is, and how well we can help them defend it.
Lack of morale and ammunition
Haines said Russian President Vladimir Putin was surprised his military did not do more. “He is aware of the challenges facing the military in Russia.
But it is not yet clear to us whether he has the full picture of it at the time of this writing. We see morale and ammunition shortages, logistics and a whole host of other problems they face.” Russia appears to be depleting its military stockpiles “very quickly”.
