Did they bring their own food?
Most likely, and a lot of vodka:
"Reporter Javier Mayorca wrote on Twitter on Saturday that the first plane carried Vasily Tonkoshkurov, chief of staff of the ground forces, adding that the second was a cargo plane carrying 35 tonnes of material."
Mauro and the elite have food.
Hope they like drinking sewer water. :)
Did they bring their own body bags?
