Russians losing hope on battlefield, devastated by Ukrainian strikes - intercept
That’s according to the latest intercepted call published by the Security Service of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
In the call, a Russian soldier who is fighting in the Kreminna district of Luhansk region complains to his wife: "The officer says: 'we need to seize that silo.' But how do we take it if we only have three machine guns? And he goes ‘The order is to seize it." Seventeen rookies were killed then... They just stood up from the field. As we were dragging their bodies back, we were pelted with mortars."
According to the Russian, the officer, who had given the order, fled the area. The serviceman does not hide his panic and actually says goodbye to his wife. He says his unit is doomed, but no one is going to take them out of the front line: their order is to stand to the last man.
The aggressor says the Russian command does not care about manpower losses: "We are shipping rookies back in bags. It’s bags and bags... Cn you imagine that? It’s not a body at a time. Seventeen in one day," he says.
The invader also laments that some of the strikes hitting his position are friendly fire due to faulty artillery spotting.
As reported earlier, the Russian military death toll stands at nearly 96,590, according to the latest estimates by the Ukrainian Army’s General Staff.
