I have read news reports that the Russian forces in Ukraine are very low on food and fuel too.

BTW hard to say what I have been reading, seeing, and hearing is right but it looks like the Russian
troops on the ground in Ukraine are being chewed up. How long will the Russian people, the FSB,
and the rich put up with Putin? I just read that he fired 1,000 people who work around him and
replaced them with new people. I wonder if any of those people have family and friends in or from
Ukraine.
