❗️Around 10% of Russian troops in Ukraine are reportedly addicted to drugs, with another 10% using them occasionally or depending on circumstances, Mark Galeotti writes in Der Pragmaticus. He says synthetic cathinones known as "salts", with effects resembling amphetamines, cocaine and ecstasy, are increasingly used by small Russian assault groups to suppress fatigue and fear. Galeotti says drugs are readily available through organized criminal networks supplying troops near the front.
