Surreal: a Ukrainian drives up to Russian invading soldiers, asks, did you break down, they respond, he says, maybe I could tow you back to Russia. They laugh. Then he tells them, Kyiv’s fine, many of your guys’ve surrendered. Drives off to only run into another broken down tank.

Russia's supply lines are being disrupted by the Ukrainians. They are running out of fuel and even food. Elsewhere there was a report of a young 19 yr. old Russian soldier lost and wandering around asking for food.

This only further underscores what a huge mistake this invasion was for Putin. He's left his own men stranded and vulnerable. Can't imagine this is going over well with a lot of these Russian soldiers.

sending his best and brightest. Could it be that the Russian military is actually poorly equipped and ran itself out of everything in Afghanistan?
