Ukraine’s military says in its morning update that invading Russian troops “have ammunition and food supplies for no more than three days.”

The statement says the Russian army is suffering from similar fuel shortages.

The statement also claims that Russian forces are seeing instances of troops refusing to obey orders, with soldiers’ “disobedience” seen in the Sumy region where around 300 refused to follow orders to fight and left the area of combat with “70 units of equipment.”

None of the claims could be independently verified.
