A video has emerged of what is allegedly a robbery of a Megafon mobile phone store in the village of Glushkovo. In the footage from August 17, men in Russian military uniform (presumably from the Akhmat battalion) spend at least half an hour breaking display cases, taking out equipment (such as power supplies), and trying to force open the door.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Armed Forces blew up a bridge across the Seim River in Glushkovo. Today, Ukrainian troops have destroyed a second bridge across this river, thus leaving the Russian army with only one bridge for supplying supplies.

I suppose that their excuse is that it is better than Ukrainian getting them (not that they have any habits of looting, that's more a Russian bad habit).

Key to maintaining the kleptocracy is maintaining a stance of "well everyone does it"
