Russian Soldiers Forced to Surrender Gadgets Over Leaked Personnel Losses – Ukrainian POV

1. If you can keep the public in the dark, does that make the situation on the battlefield better?

2. Does anybody know what the _real_ exchange rate is in russia? All trading was halted and its “pegged” at 86/dollar. I have a feeling that it’s more like 150/dollar in russia. But theyre hiding it.

3. Gadgets?
   I was confused. Well a smartphone is a gadget, of course.
   But using the word gadget as a replacement for smartphone may
   be some idiomatic, like the German “Handy” for cellphone.

   Well, this was a topic an the Russian propaganda website “Govorit Moskva”
   on July 23, the appeasement maybe propaganda
   (СВО = SVO = special military operation, resolved by google to “Northern Military District”):

   A military expert doubted the need to toughen punishment for gadgets in the Northern Military District zone
   Военный эксперт усомнился в необходимости ужесточать наказание за гаджеты в зоне СВО

   Dmitry Rogozin criticized the proposal to ban phones in the Northern Military District zone
   Дмитрий Рогозин раскритиковал предложение о запрете телефонов в зоне СВО

   The State Duma proposed recognizing the carrying of gadgets in the Northern Military District zone as a disciplinary offense
   В ГД предложили признать ношение гаджетов в зоне СВО дисциплинарным проступком

4. Do-do-do-do-do-inspect-her-gadget.
