Kamchatka Red Cross accepts donations for Russian militaryEven though the Russian Red Cross explicitly states on its website that it does not gather military supplies or equipment for dual use, at least one of its centers does so.Ukrainian community activists in Australia are pleading with the Australian Red Cross to denounce the Russian branch for backing Putin's brutal war with Ukraine.In a conversation with Anton Bogdanovych, a Ukrainian community protest organizer in Sydney, the Russian Red Cross representative in Kamchatka suggested that locals assist the troops by bringing supplies to the Organization's office in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.This concept has been ruined by the ties between the Russian Red Cross Society and the Russian government, which led it to collect supplies for the Russian army, such as military needs for underequipped troops and drones used to correct artillery shelling against Ukrainian forces.Contrary to claims, the Russian Red Cross welcomes monetary contributions via the MyVmeste platform, supporting financially and politically all initiatives undertaken by MyVmeste to assist the Russian troops."
