Probably. Back in the day Americans were donating sidearms to soldiers and collecting peach pits for literally no purpose at all. Is that because America was losing, or was it to give the civilian population something to do?
You're a fool who Probably still thinks the ghost of Kiev is real
More good news! It is about time Ukraine began doing that, recognizing territorial in integrity, and other countries should follow too. Thank you more this content!
So Ukranians conducting strategic strikes against the invading Russians is terrorism now?
Why, yes, recall the largest incident of terrorism in history, when America, Canadian and British forces terrorised the innocent Germans of Normandy...
Many in Russia want to reclassify the "special military operation" as an "anti-terror operation" altogether, like in Chechnya.
And they habitually call their enemies boyeviki (militants), like in Chechnya (you can see them usually talking about "nationalist militants" instead of "soldiers/troops/forces" when they write in English, when not just "nationalists" or a slur). It basically means they call them as insurgents/terrorists by another name (they occasionally use just "insurgents" and "terrorists" too).
The stated purpose is to treat a gunshot wound by sticking it inside. Apparently it's what they learnt to do in Chechnya.
Just to steel-man the position, I have heard of US soldiers I know who did the same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of course, the difference there being that the US soldiers who did it were doing it as an entirely homebrew solution, and not on the official orders of the military.
One has to ask where all that money they got from India, China, Iran and other countries has gone to. If they can't even afford to give their soldier the very basics.
I even read that they are now having to pay for these things, including armor out of their own pockets.
Unless the officers or the grandfathers just steal all their stuff and private gear that they've brought along, or even just their money and phones.
In one unit the mobiks didn't allow themselves robbed and just beat up the deds, who barricaded themselves in one building of the base until the military and civilian police rescued them. https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1577571653101535233
Yes soldiers carry first aid kits and chocolate is a normal part of rations.
Sanitary pads can be used as emergency dressings or to trade with locals for cigs and shit.
You guys are fucking delusional.
Does America give that as default to American soldiers, or only countries who have no resources and can't afford proper items?
They were donated by civilians you moron
Did Americans donate pads to American soldiers?
Probably. Back in the day Americans were donating sidearms to soldiers and collecting peach pits for literally no purpose at all. Is that because America was losing, or was it to give the civilian population something to do?

Aren't you the one who thought that blindfolding war prisoners was useless?
Once again, did Americans give American soldiers pads?
Yes you dipshit, someone else already told you that.
You realize America has female soldiers right? Why don't you go cope about The Borderland's inevitable defeat somewhere else?
They used for different reasons. So, those Russian soldiers identify themselves as women?
I think you don't understand how wars work.

In more substantial news, they just gave Putin a 70th birthday present by hitting the Kerch bridge for the first time.

And it all goes back to the supplies for the mobiks or lack thereof because meanwhile in Russia at the very same moment when this happened: https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1578665251729715200

"Ukrainian militants" (similar to Chechenskiye boyeviki) is also common from them in both Russian and English, as in https://twitter.com/RussianEmbassy/status/1578749328675389441 from 2 hours ago.
Or in this Russian TV report from the Bakhmut front where they keep repeating natsyonalistov and boyevikov interchangeably in the second half: https://twitter.com/GirkinGirkin/status/1578749651574214657
I know about that. Elsewhere they're being told to bring their own women pads or to ask their gf to give them some.

No wonder their morale is low, and any chance they have, they prefer to surrender.
