Yuriy Biriukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters":
"There will be no heroic photos, sorry, not from my unit - we feed those who dispose of Russians. And this is where I have something to tell, about my own, behind-the-scenes stuff.
Because it was like at the very beginning, especially if we are talking about Kyiv. People's impulse, patriotic business, restaurants feeding soldiers, volunteers delivering food. It's really great, we still receive something from restaurants and are grateful to them in every way (no sarcasm).
BUT! You should always have a plan B!
It's simple: the Russians are already losing militarily, are going mad from the realization of their own insignificance, and are beginning to massively destroy civilian infrastructure.
How difficult is it to leave any city without electricity?
How difficult is it to leave any city without water?
How difficult is it to leave any city without food?
The answers are already known.
Therefore, since a large number of soldiers from different battalions of the TRO read me, prepare a plan B, demand a plan B from the deputy commander, and contact the commander about plan B.
1) Get KP-125 field kitchens from the Ministry of Defense warehouses (do not take 130s, they are a terrible "miracle" of Soviet engineering). Get army thermoses and utensils from the MoD warehouses - they need to be gnawed up, they are already in short supply.
2) Get food at the MoD warehouses! Always! Every day! There are cereals and pasta, canned food and meat, sausage and vegetables. Every day, according to applications, officially, without any problems.
3) Look for and hire cooks at KP-125. There are always plenty of them. And yes, the 206th battalion is looking for them too. If you have experience at CP-125 and want to join our battalion, please contact us.
And that's how we'll win: the heroic fighters will be full, will dispose of Russian shit and will delight you with heroic photos. And the zampolitiki will be calm. No sarcasm here again."
