The spotlight on the pack animals comes as the Ukraine war continues to strain resources on both sides, and as Russia’s ability to sustain its cornered economy — now increasingly reliant on defense manufacturing — remains in question. Its full-scale invasion is set to enter its fourth year on February 24.
Both things can be true.
There’s drone shots of Russians using donkeys, but that doesn’t mean they’re suddenly WW2 Germany, relying on millions of draft animals because they don’t have trucks.
But Ukraine ALSO needs a fuckton more weapons.
