Russia’s Army, Running Out of Vehicles, Resorts to Donkeys
World reaction sees Russia’s regression to the pack animals as a black mark on the nation’s military prestige.
After almost three years of war, Russia’s Army has resorted to donkeys to ferry ammunition to front line soldiers. When President Putin launched his full-fledged attack on Ukraine, on February 24, 2022, Russia’s Army was widely seen as the second most powerful in the world, after America’s.
“They’re bringing us donkeys — real ones! Four of them,” one Russian soldier exclaimed on social media. “They’re using donkeys to transport ammo. The order is to build a corral for them. 21st century — we’re going to war on donkeys.”
