  • Ukrainian intelligence claims that the Russian command is ignoring complaints from its troops about the disease, viewing them as excuses to avoid combat duties.
  • The outbreak has reportedly affected the combat effectiveness of the Russian troops, with the disease reducing their capabilities.
  • Ukrainian intelligence's report on the disease spreading among Russian troops has not been independently verified and Russia’s Defense Ministry has not responded to requests for comment.
