As of yesterday, Russia has had losses of 880,660 since its full-scale invasion began three years ago. They had 1250 casualties just yesterday, according to those who track their losses.
Given the nature of their horrific losses, the idea of gifting mothers whose sons have died in Ukraine with meat grinders as part of a campaign to honor “Mothers of Heroes” seemed ill-advised. Even the Russians themselves seem put off on these “gifts.” The expression on the babushka’s face above seems to say it all. She looks absolutely thrilled with her new appliance, doesn’t she?

In the city of Polyarnye Zori in the Murmansk region, the leadership of the local branch of the United Russia party presented the mothers of soldiers killed in the special operation zone in Ukraine with meat grinders. After this, a wave of negativity arose on social networks.
“Our duty and responsibility is to surround the mothers of the heroes of the fatherland with attention and support, not in words but in deeds. We strive to be close to these strong women, share their experiences and provide assistance in difficult times, ” the United Russia party reported in its VKontakte group, which later attracted negative comments.
