When her recently mobilised brother rang from the frontline last week, Olesya Shishkanova recorded the phone call – and with it, a litany of complaints.
“They gave us absolutely no equipment. The army has nothing, we had to buy all our gear ourselves,” complained Vladimir, 23, who was conscripted as part of Vladimir Putin’s mobilisation earlier this month.
“I even had to paint my gun to cover the rust. It is a nightmare ... Soon they’ll make us buy our own grenades,” he added in the call that Shishkanova uploaded on her page on the Russian social media site VK.

Vladimir’s story is far from unique. Across the country, newly mobilised men are buying up everything from thermal underwear to body armour as more evidence emerges that Russia’s undersupplied army has not been able to provide them with even the basics when they arrive at the front.

The EU is very close to driving the Russian army south of the Dnieper.
And the conquest of Luhansk will come soon after.
Here’s a reference for you.
Funny. You can look at my posting history. There are paid propagandists on both sides (mostly by Russia). But not me. Would be nice to get a check though.
Play the 1812 overture and shut up. None of our business.
We don’t have much for military supplies as Brandon gave them away.
(NOT saying you are a bot. Just that your reply is on that level.)
Putin’s Army: Bring your own gun, ammo, a box of band-aids, water, a shovel and your own toe tag.
I shouldn’t laugh. By the time Brandon is done with us, that will be OUR Army, too.
Except for the, ‘bring your own tranny make-up kit’ part.
*Rolleyes*
Holy crap, people. Calling from the front lines?
"Hello, mum. Well, I'm on the front line now. Sure hope the enemy doesn't know how to ping our location. How's my dog? Well, got to go. War and all, you know. Ta."
Unbelievable what you people eat up.
The Ukraine invasion has been reduced to a war of logistics. First side to run out of men, arms/ammo or supplies will loose the war.
Ukrainian civilians mourn the loss of their dead while other civilians are suffering with no electricity.
0100 am air raid alerts!
Explosions reported in Poltava region - white

Zaporozhye explosions⚡️
🚨🚨🚨The Western secret services have transmitted to the Ukrainian side data on the increase of the Russian grouping in the Black Sea by two cruise-carrying submarines⚡️⚡️⚡️
The right bank of Kiev is currently covered in darkness this evening as the Ukrainian authorities began to implement their planned power outage to save energy, these power outage are due to continued Russian strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
Russia is going to go after the infrastructure of Ukraine. Ukrainians will freeze during winter. So the Russians will continue to use their artillery to pound Ukraine. Russia is capable of taking a lot of pain, Zelensky will have to factor that in, the Russians always have viewed their troops as cannon fodder so it doesn't matter how many Russian troops the Ukranians may have taken out.
Putin has lost, and he knows it. He mobilizes Russian civilians as expendable cannon fodder for his own personal revenge and spite upon Ukraine. They’re just useful-idiots to prop up as a defense line before the AFU, so his regular army can retreat.
Putin erects conscript cardboard cut-outs that have no will or energy to fight. The peasants mean nothing to Putin. They exists at his discretion and disposal. The only thing Putin cares for is his bruised ego. And while Putin assembles his meat-shield along the defense lines, he rains terrorist attacks upon civilian targets, women & children, and power stations because he cannot win against the advancing AFU. It’s all a Putin tantrum and show of cowardice.
Surprisingly the Ukrainian soldiers are allowed to keep and use their phones. The Russians have their phones confiscated for reasons that become obvious in this post from yesterday.

Important from the Svatovsky direction from the BARS-13 “Russian Legion” battalion commander:
According to the analytical group of the Russian Legion, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are transferring forces from the southern direction to Svatovskoye. Based on an analysis from open sources using theprocessing of information from the social networks of employees of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it was found that the military personnel who posted photos with geotags from the Krivoy Rog region onOctober 17-18, today, on October 21, are posting content already from the vicinity of Kupyansk, more than 50 such cases have been recorded. from this it can be assumed that there is a process of transferring units from the Kherson direction to Svatovskoye, which indicates that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not abandoned its offensive plans in this direction and continues to strengthen its grouping.
Soldiers complaining?
What is the world coming to?
