Pentagon: Russian Military Freezing Due to Lack of Proper Equipment

According to a senior US Department of Defense official, the Russian military is freezing due to a lack of proper equipment.

According to American media, a senior Pentagon official said the lack of proper equipment is compounded by the shortage of food and fuel between Russian forces.

According to him, the Russian army still has problems with logistics and sustainability.

“Their soldiers have a problem with the equipment. We have indicators, we conclude that some of them were withdrawn from the front because they were frozen,” said the representative of the Department of Defense.

According to him, the Russians also have problems with the command, which complicates communication between them.
