The Russian army has been beset by logistical problems that are seriously impacting its ability to equip and supply its frontline troops. Numerous reports have emerged of soldiers being critically short on ammunition, food, and basic winter clothing - to name but a few issues.

Now, it appears that Putin's military and security forces are embroiled in a vicious dogfight for scarce supplies, that is threatening to tear apart Russia's army.

The Ukraine Resistance Center (URC) said that tensions were reaching boiling point over the distribution of supplies.

They claimed that FSB (the KGB successor organization) and the Russian National Guard (Rosgvardia) were getting first picks on vital military equipment, including the best vehicles.

As a result, the Russian military was only getting its hands on whatever was left over. In a recent bulletin, the URC said: "The Russian security forces and the military are at odds in the Kherson area due to insufficient material support.

"Tension is growing between the occupation security forces (Rosgvardiya, FSB) and the military due to insufficient material support.”

The desperate plight of Russian soldiers was further highlighted by recent events in the Luhansk region, part of Ukraine's Donbas. They added that many of the conscripts had to be taken to hospital to receive treatment for frostbite.
