Brigades sent to improve ‘fragile morale’ of Russian troops ‘unlikely’ to ease issues, says UK

Brigades dispatched to improve the “fragile morale” of Russian soldiers are unlikely to ease issues on the frontline, UK defence chiefs have said.With Russia’s campaign struggling in Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence said Russia has formulated two so-called creative brigades tasked with improving the morale of frontline troops.The brigade will include singers, actors and circus performers and is “strongly intertwined with the Soviet-era concept of ideological political education”, the MoD said in its latest update.
