Corruption is destroying the Russian army. Ukraine has been fighting a war against Russia for nearly one and a half years now. Despite having a war machine second to none, Russia has been consistently losing ground.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been blamed for the country's military failures, as corruption and mismanagement have infected nearly every aspect of the military. This video explores how corruption has undermined Russia's military capabilities, leading to their defeat in the Ukraine War.
