Russian Troops Deploy Donkeys for Frontline Transport Amid Logistics Strain

News summary

Russian troops are reportedly using donkeys to transport ammunition and supplies to the front lines in Ukraine, a practice defended by several military officials amid ongoing logistical challenges. Viktor Sobolev, a member of the State Duma's defense committee, stated that the military is experiencing significant difficulties in supply, and using pack animals is a valid solution, comparing it to historical practices from World War II. Pro-Russian military bloggers have shared images and anecdotes of soldiers using donkeys, highlighting a shortage of vehicles for transport. Although the Ministry of Defense has not confirmed the widespread use of donkeys, the situation has sparked commentary on the state of Russia's military logistics as the war enters its fourth year. Critics, including Ukrainian officials, have noted that this method reflects a regression in military capabilities, likening it to practices from centuries ago. The use of donkeys and other pack animals has been met with both humor and concern within the context of the ongoing conflict.
