The organizers of a charity concert in Russia’s Blagoveshchensk are going to use the proceeds from the event to buy body bags for Russian soldiers, according to a report by the publication Sirena.

The concert will feature musical groups and animators in costumes. Attendees will be offered to sign postcards for Russian soldiers on the front line.

In exchange, the organizers request donations that will be used to meet the military's needs, including “garbage bags and pathology bags,” as stated in the event description. They also plan to purchase pillows, mosquito repellent, wet wipes, thermoses, clothing, and medicines.

The mention of body bags and other items was later removed from the announcement, but Sirena kept the screenshots of the original post.
