‘steal billions’ & soldiers ‘flog gear on Russian EBAY’
VLADIMIR Putin's hopelessly corrupt generals are siphoning off "billions" from the army while soldiers flog stolen gear and vehicles on Russia's version of eBay, an investigation by The Sun Online has revealed.
Online marketplace Avito is awash with state-of-the-art Russian military kit at a time when Putin's soldiers are being sent to the frontline in Ukraine poorly armed and poorly supplied.

It seems like the Russian soldiers have found a way to get paid.
