"Widows were given 21 fur coats as compensation for the breadwinner who died in Ukraine," the post said.
Holding up the garments and smiling, one woman addresses the camera. "We received some unexpected help today," she said, adding that the widows of the dead soldiers gathered were "very grateful" for the coats.
"Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for taking care of us," she said, mentioning that they had been given "such an opportunity. The group of women then said "thank you" in unison.
A man holding the device filming the women was named by media outlets as Yevgeny Skripnik, who is an associate of Igor Girkin, the prominent military blogger and former Russian intelligence officer who spearheaded Russia's war effort in the Donbas region in 2014.
Skripnik said the coats had been given by Russian activists in Moscow, adding, "at such moments you feel that we are one family."
The story was reported by Ukrainian media outlets such as the New Voice of Ukraine which compared the gift of the garments to what was allegedly given as compensation to other family members of those killed in Ukraine.

Ivan be a hero, be a fool with your life!
Russia gonna need a lot more coats
The value of a life in Russia.
The women better b3e smiling and thankful, or else.
What about sable hats?
I’ve come to the conclusion that everyone else on this planet are totally weird. I’ll take God, Jesus, apple pie and whatever else makes us Americans. The rest of the world can go to hell.
Beats what Ukrainian wives are getting which is “Oh, your husband isn’t dead, he’s just missing. That’s why we aren’t paying you your widow’s benefit.”
Warmest coats in the world. It’s just not as unusual in Russia as in other countries.
I suspect the Trannies posting this garbage are just jealous of the fur coats. Perhaps Sam Smith and Kim Petras have a post Grammy Sale on Fur Coats and high heels?

“My vodka addicted husband beat and choked me. He scared our three children. I could not believe my good luck the day the FSB dragooned him into Putin’s Ukraine zombie army” “He was put into Wagner battalion and got killed in a human wave”
“At least I got a new Siberian mink coat out of this. And I am promised a repossessed Lada automobile next year too.” “And I have fresh new young draft dodger boyfriend from the Muslim provinces. Grrrrr....”
I'm not a Russian. But maybe you've explained why a life is so cheap in Russia
Why do the Russian men marry those women instead of the Russian women who send me pictures of themselves complaining about loneliness?
Let’s not make light of military families being destroyed. Ok?
Glad to see Newsweek is SO CONCERNED about Russian women - it is a start.
