The plight of the Russian troops who invaded Ukraine is being reported on social networking sites one after another. President Putin remains bullish, but there is no doubt that the lack of supplies for the Russian military is one factor in the Ukrainian army’s reversal offensive and the fact that it is taking back territory one after another.
I was given an awesome bulletproof vest. You know, paintball vests for survival games and aluminum helmets made in China.
Currently, as Russian soldiers are being transported to the front lines by bus, one Russian soldier says, “I got an awesome bulletproof vest. It’s a paintball vest for survival games and an aluminum helmet made in China,” spilling the beans on a video spreading on Twitter. A colleague also joked that the weapon is an airsoft gun. The Daily Star and other newspapers reported on October 18.
Such videos and descriptions of Russian soldiers self-deprecating the inadequacy of their equipment are known as “human sacrifice” on social networking sites around the world. This is because the only thing that awaits them when they go to war with such meager equipment is death.
Mr. Putin has issued a “partial mobilization order” and is drafting a target of 300,000 troops, but medical supplies for the new recruits are in short supply. Several Western media outlets reported, “To the new recruits, officers say, ‘Everyone, don’t laugh. If you bleed, use a napkin or tampon to stop the bleeding. Get the cheapest napkin or tampon from your mother, wife, or girlfriend. Please pack tampons for gunshot wounds,'” the report explains.
He also said that they provide their own clothing, shoes, and sleeping bags, except for weapons. As a result, Russian soldiers are being sent to cold war zones without shoes or sleeping bags, so they are stealing from each other, according to the report. Julia Davis of the media monitoring group Russian Media Monitor wrote on Twitter, “One soldier complained that ‘shoes, money, and mattresses were stolen. A barefoot soldier said, ‘Stealing is the only way to survive,'” she posted.
The soldiers are warming themselves with stoves in their tents, but the stoves are also being stolen by soldiers in other tents.
