RU soldier: "We don't know who to shoot -- they all look like us" [View all]

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/russia-ukraine/?id=82467772&cid=social_twitter_abcn#83131892

A senior U.S. official told ABC News they've heard a Russian soldier on a radio call saying, “We don’t know who to shoot -- they all look like us.”

The official also said some Russian forces are disoriented, realizing the battles against Ukrainians are harder than they thought.
