The Russian Federation has announced a fund-raising campaign to purchase winter uniforms for the occupation contingent in Ukraine. The official Kremlin admitted that it does not have enough budget funds for these needs.
It also became known that the next rotation of Russians will consist mainly of residents of the Far East of the Russian Federation and Kamchatka. By design, they are better adapted to life in low temperatures and will be more effective in winter. Also, these servicemen are not accustomed to comfort and will easily tolerate the lack of a well-established lifestyle.
There is information that Kremlin recruiters managed to attract a specific part of the population of the northern regions with promises of high payments. As the "new recruits" say: "we won't earn that much in our lifetime."
However, this personnel has a very low level of training and knows almost nothing about the real state of affairs of hostilities in Ukraine.
