“The **Russian Red Cross was spotted taking cash, clothing, and military drone supplies for Russia’s war.**
Even though the Russian Red Cross explicitly states on its website that it does not gather military supplies or equipment for dual use, at least one of its centers does so.
The Kamchatka Red Cross website discloses that it accepts donations for military troops and their families in support of the Russian #WeTogether campaign, which lists assisting the Russian army as one of its goals
**The Russian brache’s actions**, which also include giving money to the armed forces, **are** **accused of violating one of the foundational principles of the Red Cross, which is neutrality in wars and armed conflicts.”**
It’s not surprising unfortunately. There are no independent organisations in russia
No worries, they’ll do what they always do: their own red cross. With blackjack…
Going from a superpower to needing to rely on donated clothes to dress your soldiers must hurt lol.
