Russian military uses donkeys to transport supplies in Ukraine.
Russian officials are now defending their decision to send donkeys to Ukraine to help Russian troops move ammunition and supplies to the frontlines amid a shortage of military vehicles. The animals were being provided directly to troops by Russia’s defence ministry. Russian Telegram channel Mayorsky KortiZol published a video on 5 February in which a Russian soldier said he was given a donkey. ‘They gave us a donkey. It’s parked in the support platoon. We have s for transport, right? Here’s a donkey. Use it to transport ammunition to the front lines,’ he said. Another Russian serviceman claimed that his unit had received 4 donkeys and joked about using the animals in the 21st century. ‘They’re bringing us donkeys – real ones! Four of them. I don’t know how they’ll divide them... 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.’ Russia is estimated to have lost about 20,000 pieces of military equipment since the start of its all-out invasion of Ukraine. Viktor Sobolev, a retired general who is now a member of the Russian parliament’s defence committee, defended the use of the animals. ‘There are currently great difficulties in providing units and divisions with ammunition, military supplies, as well as food,’ he told the Defence Express. ‘If some methods such as donkeys, horses, and so on are used to deliver ammunition and other supplies to the front line, this is normal. ‘It is better for a donkey to be killed than two people transporting supplies in a vehicle,’ he said. Referring to their use during the Second World War he recalled that much of the artillery was horse-drawn at the time. ‘Dogs were also used in that war,’ he added. ‘They were loaded with explosives and sent to areas where they were needed.’
