Russian military no longer hoping to get out of Ukraine alive - intelligence

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

In an intercepted phone call with his mother, a member of Russia's armed forces complains: "They are sending us to fight. There are 20 of us. There is no difference - whether you are first or second. We will go there to die. There is a battalion there, and there are just 20 of us. We have all come to terms with the fact that if we go there, we won't come back."

According to the Russian, no one is going to take them out. "A thousand people or 30. It just doesn't make sense for them to get us out of there, including our lieutenant colonel. Because everything will surface what they did here, where they shot. Everyone has been sold long ago. And the road has been sold," he explains.

In the end, the invader says that he is thinking of escaping.

"I'll just go through the woods. They won't find you in the taiga," said the Russian soldier.

Ukrainian intelligence earlier intercepted a phone call between Russian invaders in which they are inventing new ways to evade participation in the war in Ukraine.
