P.S. In the Russian army, a soldier is a disposable item! The real "Russian world" is very different from the picture painted by Kremlin propaganda and stupid Russophiles...

Belarusian source: Russian soldiers send looted goods home

The soldiers are mailing electronics and household items to Rubtsovsky, Siberia, which has a Russian National Guard contingent.

Information has been seeping from Belarus in recent days, according to which Russian soldiers who have withdrawn from Ukraine to Belarus have sent a large amount of home electronics and other consumer goods home.

The data has been published especially by the Belarusian Telegram channel Belaruski Gajun. It has even published the names of the senders, suspected to be Russian soldiers, as well as telephone numbers, which may be the numbers of the recipients.

The channel is run by Anton Motolko, an activist in the Belarusian resistance movement. During the war, the channel became known for accurately reporting on the movements of Russian troops and aircraft in Belarus.

According to the channel, Meduza, which operates in Latvia, has among others reported on the looting topic. HS cannot verify the authenticity of the data.

According to the channel, the soldiers unloaded the goods from the platform of the Kamaz trucks in the city of Mazyr and forwarded it through the CDEK courier service.

The channel has also released a three-hour video allegedly from a courier office surveillance camera.

According to the channel, soldiers have sent car spare parts, tools, consumer electronics and other home appliances, camping gear, clothing, ventilation equipment and electric scooters, among other things. The quantities of goods sent by an individual soldier have varied between 50 and 450 kilograms.

Most of the people listed by the channel are from the town of Rubtsovsk in the Altai region of southwestern Siberia. The city is home to the Russian National Guard's Rosgvardija military unit number 6720, whose soldiers have been sent to Ukraine. The National Guard, established in 2016, has been considered the bodyguard troupe of the Russian leader Vladimir Putin. It is headed by his former bodyguard Viktor Zolotov. In Ukraine, Rosgvardija has been tasked with overseeing the occupied territories.

According to the Belarusian opposition media Mediazona, Russian soldiers have also sent goods home from the Russian city of Novozybkov

A man interviewed by US-funded Svoboda media in Mazyr, Belarus, said Russian soldiers were also trading goods directly with Belarusians.

“They bring the loot of war they looted from Ukraine here and trade it with the locals. Refrigerators, household items, tires and whatever, ”said the man here named Ilya.

Before the war began, interviewees of Svoboda said Russian soldiers were trading in diesel in the area.

we are not over the pandemic and another war just started

our world is full of wars

in Africa and Asia much more heated

in America a little more hidden, maybe

what difference with what Russia has made today?

theoretically: none ... a war is always a war ... be it between different states or civil, internal

in practice, it is the beginning of a possible war between powers of the so-called "First World"...

am I scared? yes

my heart goes with all the people out there, under the explosions and this chaos made by these beings who only see profits
