Russian soldiers in Ukraine are said to be understaffed and poorly trained. Now, among other things, circus performers must raise the morale of the troops.
In its daily update, the British Ministry of Defense writes that Russia wants to send two “creative front-line brigades” to its troops. His task was supposed to be to raise the morale of the soldiers at the front. According to Russian media reports, the ranks of these brigades will include opera singers, actors and circus performers. Russia’s Ministry of Defense recently launched a campaign to encourage the public to donate musical instruments to soldiers in action.

“Low morale certainly remains a major weakness in many of the Russian armed forces,” writes the UK Ministry of Defense. Soldiers were primarily concerned about very high casualties, poor leadership, salary problems, lack of equipment and ammunition, and lack of clarity about the war’s objectives. The efforts of the creative brigades are unlikely to significantly alleviate these concerns.

Meanwhile, there is speculation about an attack on Russia. As the Russian state news agency “Ria Novosti” reports, there were several explosions in the city of Belgorod on Sunday. According to the correspondent, nine explosions were heard and the air defense system would have worked. Belgorod is located in the European part of Russia and is only about 120 kilometers from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which has been back in Ukrainian hands since September.
“There are casualties on the ground, currently there are information about four wounded,” said Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of the region. Meanwhile, photos on social media show broken windows in apartments and cars. The Kremlin has repeatedly reported shelling of villages and towns near the Ukrainian border. Apparently, a farm was also hit by the bombing. According to the Nexta media project, two people would have died, while the governor speaks of a fatal victim and several injured.
