Low morale has become a growing problem for the Russian forces in Ukraine as they have been dragged into war for almost a month, the Pentagon said.

“We certainly have indications that morale is a growing problem inside the Russian forces that are fighting in Ukraine,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said Tuesday during a press briefing. “And as time goes on, and they continue to fail to achieve the progress on the ground that they want to achieve, we’ve seen increasing indications that morale and unit cohesion is a problem.”
