For those unschooled in russian gobbledygook, this is "preparing the city for urban combat". You know, gotta remove all the double pane insulated windows and ship them to a safe place until the battle is over. The toilets aren't nazis, why should they suffer? Then..there's the sweet...sweet washing machines. No washing machine left behind.
Those chips ain't gonna import themselves.
Yup, it sounds ridiculous until you realize that they're not -just- looting. They need those chips for their war effort. Shit, they've been stealing traffic cams in border countries, too, for the same reason. Why do they get into firefights with each other over washing machines? Because a unit that can reliably bring in the chips might not be used for recon by fire - a death sentence.
Meanwhile, russia has suffered massive casualties (and we can assume ukraine has, as well) in a failed general push along the bahkmut artillery lines. So much for those new recruits, ground into meat.
