Russian troops in Ukraine lack proper cold weather clothing and some have been taken out of the fight by frostbite, a senior U.S. defense official revealed on Tuesday.
The official cited it as another example of how Moscow had failed to adequately prepare for the invasion of Ukraine, along with continuing fuel, ammunition and food shortages.
Nearly a month into the war, Russian troops have failed to seize a single major city and their advance has been halted on nearly all fronts by staunch Ukrainian defense.
Now Ukrainian forces are preparing to retake captured territory as Russian forces battle declining morale - according to the latest Pentagon assessments.
A senior official was asked about logistics problems during a briefing on Tuesday.
'We picked up some indications that some of their soldiers are suffering from frostbite because they they lacked the appropriate cold weather gear for the environment that they're in ... that they haven't - in addition to food and fuel - even in terms of personal equipment for some of their troops they are having trouble,' said the official.
'They're having trouble and we picked up indications that some troops have actually suffered and been taken out of the fight because of frostbite.
'So yes, they are having continued logistics and sustainment issues.'
That includes a lack of guided munitions, he added.
At the same time he said Ukrainian forces had been organising in attempt to retake lost ground.
'What we're what we're starting to see are are indications that they are they are, are now able and willing to take back territory that the Russians have taken,' said the official.
He declined to indicate what their targets might be and said it was difficult to tell whether it was part of a bigger operational plan.

Talk to a Russian. They are famous for saying a Siberian isn’t able to tolerate the cold better. They just know how to dress for the weather correctly.
Go back to any day from 2/25 on and you’ll find the exact same story. Here’s how the “Russian bear” will be out of gas within a couple of days! This one from 2/27. These Russia, Russia, Russia 2.0 hucksters are worse than the lying climate change alarmists. Their drop dead dates pass daily but do they look up from the media conglomerate trough?
indeed.
one does not have to root for one side or the other to see
that there is a TON of pro-Ukranian propaganda in the western mass media
and that a lot of it is patently ridiculous
still, headlines alone can brainwash unsuspecting people...
All propaganda all day.
"Willkommen in meiner Welt!"
One of my college engineering profs (who was a German soldier in WWII and had been an American POW sent to Nebraska) joked that if they had synthetic arctic 0 weight engine oil back then, the Russians would all be speaking German.
marcusmaximus is trolling us. He has no ability to articulate his position, which I assume is Pro-Biden. I admit, I have fun poking holes in his nonsense.
Another piece of western war cheerleader propaganda. I need only to look at the non western war maps. Sure, Vlad is taking losses, but in war the attacker is always at a disadvantage. To suggest the Ukies are winning is ludicrous, calls for a no fly zone, begging for aircraft, arms, ammunition and men suggests Vlad is winning. Read Putin’s war speech, three demands were made, he has accomplished two of them.
Ivan is successfully taking the Donbass Seperatists provinces, and the entire southern front. The Neo Nazi strongholds are being leveled. When those areas are secured, the push on Kiev will resume…casualties you say? Vlad doesn’t care, he will bury the dead in a very patriotic ceremonies, then move on.. The Ukies on the other hand, are burying the dead and then have to rebuild the rubble for another decade.
Best thing Zelensky can do is get negotiating, ditch those Donbass provinces that declared their independence from Ukraine , then beg for billions to rebuild the nation…10 percent to the vegetable head.
I have been following the Donbass/ Ukraine war since 2015, ( most here have no idea they have been at war since 2015), this conflict was ripe years ago.
Support neither side, both are corrupted beyond belief. Get to the table, with every day Ukraine is getting pounded to ruble.
Soros is paying to flood the zone.
Hypersonic thermogenic cold bombs.
“a senior U.S. defense official”
Lets have the name. name..name..name..NAME!
The Putin plan.
Possess bombed out Ukraine.
Sell your natural assets to the ChiComs at 30% off.
Seems brilliant to me.
The usual disinformation from the very woke US military and the Daily Mail? Yup.
Next they will be falling us the US backed government in Afghanistan will easily beat the Taliban.
Wait, they already told us that. Promptly followed by a very quick, very easy Taliban victory.
Chuckle.
Who in the US said?
Methinks this is either Ukrainian or Washington propaganda.
US Says? We didn’t say squat.
We could see mushroom clouds over Kiev and the Daily Fail would run headlines telling us the Russian army is getting annihilated as Ukrainian forces retake cities.
Facts we know:
Ukraine buildings and infastructure are getting hammered
Ukrainians are dying and suffering
Zelensky thinks it’s worth it.
Yep, Biden and the corrupt media also swore that Hunter's laptop was Russian hoax. They have no credibility.
Possess bombed out Ukraine.

Vlad has no intentions of occupying Ukraine, just getting the Seperatists their independence, a neutral Ukraine guarantee, I see nothing of his equipment that suggests occupation. Read his speech he made to the world, like Trump, he is a strong leader, he will do as he said- unfortunately at all costs.
