(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 19 - "The Ukrainian forces have probably deserted in recent weeks, but it is likely that the moral of Russia will remain particularly unstable. There have been entire Russian units that have refused orders and clashes between officers and their troops".
This was supported by the daily bulletin of British intelligence as reported by UkraninskaPravda.
"Many Russian staff members across the board are also likely to remain confused about the objectives of the war. The morale problems in Russian troops are likely to be so significant that they limit Russia's ability to achieve operational objectives."
