Russia has got so desperate it has had to go back to one of the most old-fashioned ways to carry bullets and guns during a war.
The Soviet army had to start using donkeys and horses to carry ammunition in Ukraine – something that hasn’t been done for over a century. Military blogger Kirill Fedorov wrote on his Telegram channel that Putin and his soldiers have started to send the animals to the front line.
