Yeah, that might be a case of them just looting stuff for themselves (although surely you need indoor plumbing for them to begin with, and who has indoor plumbing but no toilet?)

> Along with household appliances

Apparently Russia might be looting those from Ukraine for spare parts, not because Russian soldiers want to drag home a new washing machine for their wives. This does make sense to me, there are useful stuff in appliances that can be repurposed (things like semiconductors) that Russia has currently been sanctioned against.
