A Ukrainian human-rights group says Russian commanders are charging families to retrieve remains. Crimea SOS accused the Russians of charging some $1,500
Excuse me wtf. I mean drafting people to invade another country is already fucked up enough. Charging money to return bodies? What. The. Fuck. So is the russian army just gonna accept this? C’mon man, do a coup.
You say that like the military would see a single red ruble of that payment rather than it going straight into the commander’s rainy day fund. He had to go and get Conscriptovich killed in the first place, that’s hard work and deserves compensation.
They are charging half a year’s income, by the way. Not just “charging money”, but charging so much that no one can afford it without becoming homeless.

Pretty sure the military needs this too, just to keep it funded.

I like you! I love the image of a russian official hiding away a dying currency in their mattress, “just in case”.
All the while the absolute downpour around them makes that moment the rainiest day on record.

Helps keep them massage the causalty numbers if they don’t have to return all the bodies …
