Russian Soldiers Are Freezing To Death In Eastern Ukraine

[Jingthing]

Does Putin care about Russian soldiers any more than his Ukrainian victims? I think not. He's an equal opportunity genocidal war criminal.

If there is anything the Russian army will excel in is their winter gear - but hey, if it fits your narrative, lets believe what we want tot believe and be happy.

I happened upon RT last night. It's reappeared on my cable feed, along with a trillion Russians, so I've read. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE! There you are. I said it. Unbelievable. What a crock.

What about all those stories about Russian conscripts having to buy their own uniforms? Fake news as well? Are the Chechen conscripts as well equipped as the Russians?

Or the prisoners freed and sent to the front, are they well equipped and fed as well....just well equipped to die it appears.

if russians are freezing than equally same ukrainians are suffering,

Night temperatures are still above 0 C. Very few would get hypothermia, if wet. They fully recover within days.

 

those 5k warm uniforms from the UK are only just coming to ukraine, probably still not on the front.

The other 25k arctic ones would come later.

Canadians also promised 50k, but again will take time.

That's total 80k, for some 700k ukrainian army.

They are not to be used in positive Celsius conditions. 

Russia has also these arctic clothing.

Those on pictures might be drunk, drugged, injured.

If they are incapacitated they should not be attacked and killed, that is war crime zone.

That can also be staged pictures

So how come there's been report after report about the russuan soldiers severely lacking in equipment, clothes etc. Just 2 days ago a report about russian soldiers depatched to a contact area with no rifles and NO SOCKS.

I agree with one poster.  Putin thought the war would be over in weeks.  It looks as though he didn't have a plan B.

From where did you come up with this nonsense about above freezing temperature means very few cases of hypothermia? 

• While hypothermia is most likely at very cold temperatures, it can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water.

Who’s most at risk?

Victims of hypothermia are often:

• Older adults with inadequate food, clothing, or heating
• Babies sleeping in cold bedrooms
• People who remain outdoors for long periods—the homeless, hikers, hunters, etc.
• People who drink alcohol or use illicit drugs.

You missed out 100's of 1000's of uniforms and other winter gear already donated from countless other countries, charities and of course the US. Its not just uniforms needed either, sleeping bags, tents, including heated tents, heaters, generators, basics such as gloves. By the way, Canada donated 500,000 units not 50k. Meanwhile Russians have to buy their own equipment or bring it with them including sleeping bags, they are not supplied with the most basic medical kits, they are told to steal them from cars. No bandages or tourniquets, told to bring tampons instead.

It's not even cold yet, wait until prolonged -20 C or more

As a Canadian I know our military clothing is up to that and much more, as is the Norwegian and Scandinavian gear.

Winter will be Ukraine's best ally, They are on home ground and can and have been rotated out, ruzzia doesn't even think that way.

I feel sorry for the Russian troops simply because they are poorly trained and very badly led by their officers.

I on the other hand have zero sympathy for the Russian troops.

Yes, there are other donated winter clothing. The original post mentions only about 30k from the UK. 
Canada donated on 12.10 some $15mln for buying 400k pieces of winter clothing and 100k pieces from army stock. That is for 50-100k full gear. 
on november 16th they donated additional $10mln for winter equipment, but not for clothing. 
"https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/campaigns/canadian-military-support-to-ukraine.html

 

russia was trying to buy 500k winter clothing and 200k bulletproof vests from third countries. Turkey refused to sell and informed ukrainians about that, that according to ukrainian spokesman. So they had shortage before winter. 
It also means that they are trying to equip some 220k mobilised, which they will shortly put on battlefield. 
 

Temperatures are still around zero C, with rains and wind. Both sides can still dig up trenches and winter shelters. Winter is coming late for europe

Can you supply some links to all the winter equipment that Russian troops are getting, you seem very concerned about Ukraine but this OP is about Russians freezing to death.

[coolcarer]

oops
 

The Russians have “misplaced” 1.5 million winter uniforms that were about to be send to the Russian soldiers in Ukraine.

They did not ask to be there. For that you can blame only one person, the homicidal maniac called Putin whos delusions of grandeur rival those of Napoleon and Hitler.

 

ANY troops of ANY country who are not supported by their country and their leaders, deserve sympathy, as they are thrown into conflicts and wars simply as cannon fodder.

Good for the western countries, who are helping the Ukraine to get and keep warm during the bitter witter which is coming.

There have been reports of countless atrocities committed by Russian troops in Ukraine, including rape, torture, murder, etc.  Russian soldiers freezing to death would certainly be welcome news to the civilized world.

Russian Soldiers Are Freezing To Death In Eastern Ukraine

I am puzzled. Reading what NATO Stoltenberg was just yesterday saying:

Quote

President (Vladimir) Putin is now trying to use ... the winter as a weapon of war against Ukraine," he told reporters at a news conference in Bucharest ahead of a two-day NATO foreign ministers' meeting.

https://www.reuters.com/world/natos-stoltenberg-putin-trying-use-winter-war-weapon-against-ukraine-2022-11-28/

 

Such a powerful war weapon but Putin has forgotten to furnish his own soldiers against General Winter?

(Similar blunder when he bombarded the Zapozhje nuclear power plant forgetting that there are his own soldiers inside.)
