The Ukrainian military intercepted numerous conversations between Russian soldiers and their relatives. The British newspaper The Guardian has entries, three of which it has now published. One of them is dated November 8th. This is a telephone conversation between a Russian soldier named Andrei and his mother. “Where are the missiles that Putin boasted about?” Andrey asks his mother. According to him, the equipment of the Russian armed forces is too bad to attack the intended targets. There was talk of ammunition that could decide the fate of the battle, but they never did. The provision of food and drinking water is also catastrophic. “No one gives us food, mom,” - says Andrey. “We scoop water from puddles, then pour it through a sieve and drink it.”
The fighter made another phone call to his father on November 6. No reinforcements, no communications, that’s the situation, he says. According to him, the troops had just survived the Ukrainian attack. They said we must not back down. Otherwise, we may be shot.”
In another recording, the fighter is talking to his wife, the phone conversation took place on October 26. According to him, he went into hiding and thought about desertion. “I’m lying in a sleeping bag, all wet, coughing and completely exhausted,” he says. “We were all sacrificed.”
Audio recordings have become a definite sensation. After all, Russia is really very interested in preventing any publications that give an idea of the catastrophic situation of its soldiers at the front. But there are still many Russian soldiers who take mobile phones to the front to be able to communicate with their families, cybersecurity expert Dmitry Alperovich said in an interview with The Guardian.
Calls can be intercepted either over the air or when they pass through a Ukrainian carrier.
Ukraine “does not intend” to ease efforts to retake Russian-occupied territory despite winter weather, the official, who declined to be named, added.
Recall, according to The Washington Post, one of the best special brigades of the Russian army, apparently, was almost destroyed during the war in Ukraine. And the total losses of the Russians by the morning of Thursday, December 22, exceeded 100 thousand.
