Following commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[RIA] It will be interesting to see how centralized supplies will coexist with military humanitarian aid, which just now began to be slightly pressed. However, we have already gone through all this.
Taking into account incoming requests from front-line units, it is necessary to increase both centralized supplies through the state line and volunteer cargo. The front devours a huge amount of resources and in the foreseeable future little will change in this matter, which means that the issues of supplying troops with everything necessary will require increased attention.
