A senior U.S. Department of Defense official told reporters on a call that intelligence has “indications that morale is flagging in some” of the Russian forces’ units.

“We have picked up independently on our own, indications that morale is flagging in some of these units. That they again did not expect the resistance that they were going to get, and that their own morale has suffered as a result,” the official told reporters Tuesday.
