Russians left desperate for the loo as toilet exports are banned to 'punish' Putin Sinking to grimy lows, Russian troops are well-known for thieving lavatories out of Ukrainian homes to send back to their families as Western sanctions of "bidets, lavatory pans, [and] flushing cisterns" bite

Some of the Russian soldiers in Ukraine have stolen toilets while looting civilian houses there. And yes, they shipped the toilets back to Russia. Outhouses are common in rural areas and villages.==

It is bullshit because there no parcel service on a front line at all.

Secondly the whole thing is a psyop myth of Russophobia.

The irony is that many of those homes in Central and the Far East don’t have running water yet.==

Not true. Even if the house is located in the taiga village where indeed no central water system like in towns. Those homes have at least water wells with pump for a water.

lol...This was Alex Christoforou's clown world story on his channel yesterday.

More utterly ridiculous propaganda.

The British media's reporting about the war is unintentional satire that is on a level with the Babylon Bee.

Re the book "The Last Battle" by Cornelius Ryan about the Russian's final push on Berlin. He wrote that a German general saw Russian soldiers flushing a toilet over and over again and thought to himself, "Imagine the great German nation defeated by men who have never seen a toilet before".

I once had occasion to flush a Soviet toilet. Pulled the overhead chain and It went off like a rocket-powered Martin Baker ejection seat. My estimate was something like 600 gallons of water blew through it in about 3 seconds.
It actually kinda scared me for a second. It felt like it might suck me right in. Designed without the slightest concern for water efficiency.

Wish they sold those here instead of these low flow fixtures.

I remember them too. The tank sitted on upper tube close to ceiling. That is why when you pull the plug it makes so strong water flush. But the amount of used water was SMALLER actually them with today modern toilets. Just consider the tank of soviet toilet was about just 1 gallon only. Compare it with modern toilet tanks.

Well, since you are admittedly a Russian living in Russia, we will have to take your word, since Russia and Russians never lie.

Russian soldiers in Ukraine may not have access to public shipping companies like FedEx or UPS in the US, but they were doing great removing things from Kherson as they retreated. Home theft like toilets, washing machines, TVs, microwaves, and big stuff like tractors and other farm machines, ambulances, buses, fire engines, etc. Wholesale thievery of anything mobile.

Any peace deal will need to include inspection of Russia and troops as they leave Ukraine to confiscate stolen property.

What percentage of toilets on Russian market are coming from Europe? I think if one says 1% it is going to be too much.
