According to the Moscow Times, an official from Russia's ruling United Russia party's Murmansk region recently presented home appliances and flowers containing a meat grinder to the mother of a soldier who died in the Ukraine war.
The gift was part of a campaign by Putin's United Russia party to console mothers who lost their sons in the war ahead of International Women's Day on March 8. However, the term 'meat grinder' is commonly used to refer to the reckless attack of the Russian military, which caused a large number of casualties in the Ukraine war, in foreign countries.
In the face of criticism, the Murmansk branch of the United Russia Party refuted that the woman had chosen the meat grinder as a gift, saying it was an `inhumane and provocative interpretation.'
"The meat grinder was not included in the standard gift set, but it was requested and accepted by a woman," an official claimed.
A bereaved family member also said "It's a timely gift. I asked for a meat grinder, but they gave me an actual gift"The United Russia Party defended its position.
However, social activists pointed out that the claim that mothers in sorrow after their sons died in action demanded a meat grinder is nonsense.
