Russian troops are resupplying by looting Ukrainians' stores, banks.

From Newsweek:

Videos on social media appear to show Russian soldiers looting banks and grocery stores in Ukraine.One video which has circulated widely on Twitter over the last few hours purportedly shows armed Russian soldiers taking items from a Ukrainian supermarket.

It was not immediately clear where the incident took place, and Newsweek is still trying to verify the details.

Meanwhile, another video appears to show Russian soldiers who had broken into a bank in the Kherson region of Ukraine.

Russia has basically shut off Ukraine's access to their Black Sea ports. We can't do air drops because we would get shot out of the sky by Putin. Same with any supply convoys; Putin's missiles would blow them up before they reached their destination. NATO refuses to implement a no fly zone over Ukraine. That means Russia will obliterate Ukraine with bombs.

I don't think Ukrainians are shrink-wrapping looters any more. Right wing sites probably like the shrink-wrapping story because they'd like us to do that with looters here. As I commented on that thread, at this point Ukrainians should in fact take whatever food and supplies they can from stores rather than leave it for the advancing Russians.
