Also, the command of the Russian army could not cope with the basic needs of military personnel, according to British intelligence.
Russian forces in the war against Ukraine continue to suffer from morale and discipline problems. In addition to battle fatigue and heavy casualties, pay problems are also a source of discontent among the military, according to a British military intelligence daily report on Twitter by the British Ministry of Defense in September 4.
In the Russian army, the income of servicemen consists of a small basic salary, combined with a complex set of bonuses and allowances. In Ukraine, the military faces non-payment of large bonuses for participation in hostilities, British intelligence reports.
This is likely due to an inefficient military bureaucracy, the unusual legal status of a “special military operation” and, in at least some cases, corruption among commanders.

The command of the Russian army does not meet the basic needs of the military personnel sent to Ukraine. We are talking about the required uniforms, weapons and rations, not to mention pay. This, most likely, negatively affects the morale of the Russian military, the report says.
Earlier, British intelligence reported that the Russian army mocked Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who had no military education and experience. According to the British, Shoigu has been removed from the real command of the troops in Ukraine.
