"We're in a self-service war!" – Kashevarova on the mood in the army
Russian soldiers are forced to purchase almost all equipment and gear with their own salaries, because supplies are supplied using outdated Soviet documents.
This was stated on the channel "New People" by the former assistant to the State Duma speaker, and now volunteer Anastasia Kashevarova, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
"I've been texting the guys, asking how things are at the front. There are so many questions. It's not even questions; they're talking swear words all they have. At the same time, when they see danger, their human instinct kicks in, that they need to protect. But inside, everything's seething.
Someone told me that we're in a self-service war. It's good that they didn't force us to buy Kalashnikovs. Otherwise, everything turns out to be our own."The car broke down—we need to find money to find spare parts and fix it all," Kashevarova said.
"But again, it all comes down to function. We have everything in stock. I used to supply generators to guys in Bryansk.
Because In Soviet times, there was supposed to be one generator for a certain distance. But now there's a greater load., all this is bigger, and more generators are needed. They burn out. But no, we will not rewrite.
And if we're going to rewrite all these old documents, we'll have to call a meeting. They'll sit in these meetings for two years, deciding whether to put up the sign or nail it down.
"And this, again, this white noise, this fiction of work, when your boys are asking for help, when they're dying there every day, and you're raising a serious question in the State Duma—to pick or not to pick lilacs. This is the most important thing," she fumed.
