This is a perfect example of how article headlines are used as propaganda to influence opinions even when the article content is relatively unbiased.
Some small number - only two are mentioned in the article - of women in one small town were given meat grinders because they specifically asked for them and were happy to receive them. This is literally what the article says.
This is not news. It’s an attempt to portray “The Russians” as Disney-esque villains mocking the family of deceased soldiers when even the article content itself opposes this narrative.
