The soldiers of the criminal army of the Russian Federation in Ukraine are so poorly equipped that theft of each other's clothes, backpacks, razors and other essential items flourishes among them.
What is known about constant theft among the soldiers of the Russian occupation army
Journalists of the publication refer to the words of the wife of one of the Russian occupiers, Tatiana, whose husband Sergei joined the ranks of the Russian army in Ukraine because he expected the promised high salary.
However, as the woman notes, her husband discovered the lack of essential equipment immediately after arriving at the front.
When they were taken out on their first mission, they didn't even have shovels. They were simply dropped on an empty field, and that was it. They bring nothing there: no gloves, no warm underwear, no ammunition. They were not even given shovels. But they gave bags for corpses,the wife of the Russian occupier says.
The woman noted that her husband, in the ranks of the criminal army of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, earns three times more than in Russia, but half of the money is spent on clothes, food and equipment.
How the occupiers rob each other
Robbing each other thrives among Russian soldiers.
One guy had his warm gloves stolen while he was going to the military. Another lost his backpack with a new warm suit while on assignment. He returned from the battle alive, but the backpack was missing. He asks where he is, and they tell him that he burned down, the woman says.
Everything was stolen from her husband, too. The woman had heard that some soldiers were robbed of their phones and money on the trains when they were going to their units.
Some just sit without communication. Everyone, it would seem, should be together and together, but here it is. They have their own. How is that possible? Bread is worth as gold. And water too. He now takes two or three sips and puts it down, because they don't get food on the job. They will throw you on the front line for two or three weeks and survive as you wish, the woman asks.
As noted, the Russian army has long suffered from problems with logistics and corruption. When arriving at the front line, mobilise troops and recruits find that they lack essential equipment.
