Now Russia ‘liberates’… a WASHING MACHINE: Putin’s men are spotted stealing kitchen appliance from Ukrainian home
- Aerial footage of the looters was captured by a Ukrainian drone over a house
- They are seen carrying the washing machine across a debris-covered lawn
- The pair then load the appliance into a Russian military vehicle marked with a ‘Z’
- Many reports of Russian soldiers looting Ukrainian houses have come out of the country since Vladimir Putin launched his invasion
Two Russian soldiers have been spotted looting a washing machine from a house in Ukraine, before loading it into a military vehicle with a large white ‘Z’ painted on it.
The aerial footage, which was filmed by a Ukrainian drone, shows a pair of Vladimir Putin‘s soldiers awkwardly carrying the appliance out of the house and across a debris-covered front lawn, before pausing when they reach the gate to the property.
After a brief stop to catch their breath, they can then be seen taking the washing machine through a gate before changing sides, and carrying it down a dirt road leading back to their military vehicle.

Despite being mostly hidden under a tree, the large white ‘Z’ is still clear in the footage, showing that the vehicle belongs to Moscow’s forces.
The ‘Z’ is one of the symbols, as well as the letters ‘V’ and ‘O’ that can be seen painted on many Russian military vehicles taking part in the invasion of Ukraine.
With it not being in the Russian alphabet, it has also become a pro-war symbol in the country, and used in propaganda by the Kremlin.
The two soldiers can then be seen loading the washing machine into the vehicle, before returning to the house – again going back through the gate and across the lawn as the footage ends.
One side of the large house they are apparently looting has been severely damaged, likely by an explosion caused by Russian artillery.
The garden down the side of the house is covered in debris, while one of the windows and some of the roof have been blown away.

The images were obtained from the Office of Strategic Communications (StratCom) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Friday, October 21.
It was posted to social media channels along with a statement saying: ‘The second army of the world – the first army of looters conducted a special operation to free a washing machine from its owners. Every criminal will inevitably be punished.’
The images and statement were also relayed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The footage was also shared on Reddit where netizens joked that the Russian soldiers had obviously never seen a washing machine before.
Several reports out of Ukraine have told of Russian soldiers looting houses.
Pavel Filatiev, a Russian paratrooper who defected from his home country and wrote a memoir of his time fighting in Ukraine, revealed how his company were so desperate for food, they looted a local supermarket.
In May 2022, the Moscow Times reported that at least 58 tonnes of looted goods from Ukraine had been sent back to Russia by a group of soldiers.
There have also been reports of Russian soldiers looting Ukraine’s museums.
