1/ Ukraine is currently enduring searing heat (up to 36°C / 97°F) as south-eastern Europe experiences a record-breaking heatwave for weeks on end, in the second warmest July ever recorded globally. Russian soldiers are complaining about their excessively hot uniforms. ⬇️

2/ The Russian milblogger Vault 8 – a serving soldier – writes on Telegram:

"In Ukraine we gain experience of war in a hot (sometimes especially hot) climate.

This applies to everything. Increased consumption of drinking water and more frequent washing.

3/ "Hygiene and prevention of infectious epidemics: typhus, cholera and the like. Timely evacuation of the bodies of the dead. Ventilation of premises. Heating the casings of unburied mines, glowing in the thermal imager. Overheating of electric generators.

4/ "Frequent boiling of car engines. Burns from the sun and hot metal.

And, of course, wearing more summer-appropriate clothing. For example, the use of sock slippers, rolled-up uniform trousers and T-shirts in the rear should be legalised.

5/ It is unbearable to fry in a VKPO [All-season Field Uniform Kit] jacket in +35 heat, as required by the proponents of the “permitted” appearance who check the lives of soldiers.

Green khaki shorts should also be legalized as work clothes.

6/ "It’s so simple – to allow, by personal order of the commander responsible for any location, working in shorts, even those purchased at one's own expense.

Legalise wearing Panama hats along with baseball caps." /end
