Russia has resorted to a new propaganda tool for mobilization – alcohol. The advertising slogan sounds like this: “Drank, ate – for war.”

Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko commented 24 channela new method of mobilizing occupiers. According to him, the combination of alcohol and war is not new.

So, the role of front-line 100 grams is known, when alcohol actually dulls the sense of danger and relieves super-tension.

But still, alcohol helps if there is motivation at all, and in the current situation this is not the case. The main problem is that Russians have no reason to go to Ukraine to die and kill. Those people who are on the other side of the front have not done anything bad for them,” Yakovenko emphasized.

The main motivation for Russians

Besides violent mobilization, the main reason for Russians is money. For poor and depressed areas, 200 thousand rubles is a large amount that they have never seen in their lives.

However, with the rate of losses of the occupying army, even such a source manpower will soon run out.
