“Pavel Filatyev, a Russian paratrooper who fought his army's capture of the Ukrainian city of Kherson earlier in the war, told CNN last monththat his unit lacked even the basics during that operation."Several days after we encircled Kherson many of us did not have any food, water or sleeping sacks," he said. "Because it was very cold at night, we couldn't even sleep. We would find some rubbish, some rags, just to wrap ourselves to keep warm."And their armaments were substandard, he said."All of our weapons are from the times of Afghanistan," where Russian forces fought from 1979 to 1989, he said.”
