Telegraph, 28 Sep 2022
New recruits to the Russian army are being told to ask their wives and girlfriends for tampons to use as bandages in the event they get shot, as military supplies run out.
In a video circulating on social media, a woman who has been identified as a military doctor can be seen giving what appears to be an introductory speech to new recruits.
In it, she tells them the army is woefully short on military equipment and that only uniforms will be supplied.
