minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·4 days agoThanks. That makes sense. When you say donations, do you mean financial donations from common people? Like the Russian military is basically a charity?
minus-squareLehmuusa@nord.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·4 days agoYes, although the donations are usually rather material than financial. In the Russians military the soldiers must buy the bulk of their own ammo with their own money, and most of the food, vehicles and fuel come from private donors. You put it well: it’s basically a charity.

War bonds are a thing.
