Russia’s own military bloggers confirm this. These are the last people to do anything but parrot the government line.

The fact that morale has been low since the start is not evidence that it’s higher now. Russia’s performance has been consistently poor



Well: Melitopol and Berdyansk and Kherson taken without a fight. Mariupol fell, Izyum fell, Liman fell and now Severodonetsk is falling. 90% of LNR is now controlled by Russia and allies. That's a lot of consistently poor performance for you.

I don't think you are qualified to read Russia's military bloggers. They usually write things such as "in this and that division, there are such and such problems". How does that translate to your claim that morale (of whom? of everybody?) being at rock bottom (for how long?)


You’re welcome to believe otherwise. I feel optimistic. Donbas may fall. I think Ukraine will be able to hold off the rest and retake significant territory in the south.
