Late in the morning, St. Petersburg was bustling with military activity. Russian soldiers, dressed in standard-issue uniforms, were swiftly organizing themselves. The city's streets, usually quiet at this hour, were now alive with the sound of military trucks and the steady rhythm of marching boots.
In various locations throughout the city, soldiers loaded trucks with essential supplies: ammunition, medical kits, and rations. Officers issued orders with a sense of urgency, directing the movement of men and materials. Despite the rush, there was an underlying order to their actions, a display of discipline honed through rigorous training.
