I think relying on militia and not properly equipping them is really starting to bite. They are unable to hold ground and now the normal army needs to step in to patch the holes, but they're spread too thin to achieve this.Most likely these are conscripts which can't be used unlessRussiaPutin formally declares war on Ukraine
Lest we forget, even now this is called a "special military operation" lol
This reminds me of corruption. You get paid a bit, you do a little show and tell to make it seem like you are doing something, but doesn't get the job done at the end.
No need; the money is better spent on heat for Western Europe come the winter. Russia will liberate Ukraine from Nazi occupation and NATO saboteurs/terrorists without any aid.
Unless I am mistaken that's 7 days worth of artilery rounds
