Video footage circulating online shows a commander explaining to newly conscripted Russian troops they need to “ask your wives, girlfriends, mothers for pads' to put in battlefield first aid kits
Video footage circulating online shows a commander explaining to new troops they will need to arrange their own vital medical supplies as the army will only supply them with “uniforms and armour”.
A female military commander can be seen in clip telling troops: “Take sleeping bags with you. You will have to sleep where you have to.“All this applies to medicine, diarrhoea tablets, hydrogen peroxide tourniquets. I don’t have enough tourniquets for you.“Car first aid kits,” she adds. “Get car first aid kits and take medical tourniquets from there.“Do you know what tampons are for.
Russian media also speculated that Mr Putin may follow up on last week's order of partial mobilisation by declaring martial law and shutting the nation's borders for all men of fighting age.
