There is cellphone video of some of these Russian soldiers and they are being asked things like what did your officers tell you about what is going on?
The soldiers said they were told this was just part of a training exercise and then suddenly they discovered they were participating in some sort of attack
One guy was a reservist said he was called up just two weeks ago
This does comport at least with the report I’ve seen elsewhere that soldiers’ cellphones were confiscated two days before the order to invade
May be there is a strategy to try to intimidate Ukraine armed forces just by the sheer numbers of Russian troops thrown in their direction, even if some of these units are not being counted on to do much
I’ve heard this same rumor from a Ukrainian friend now living in Western Europe. But if their cellphones were confiscated, how did they get on Tinder and try to flirt with the Ukrainian ladies?

The c”ellphone videos of Russian soldiers” may not really be Russian soldiers. If real, they are speaking under duress, trying to mitigate their “guilt” before their captors.
You have to be careful with all the stuff floating around on social media, and coming out of the “regular” media, too.
