After telling his friend that Ukrainian forces “tore apart” a column of Russian forces sent along with his own unit, he described complete disarray among the Russian military, with 50 percent of the unit suffering from frostbite on their feet.
Two Russian soldiers have been caught venting about Putin’s “bulls***” war against Ukraine in an intercepted phone call as devastating losses reportedly led one soldier to drive over his colonel with a tank.
“Basically, it’s a s***show here, I’ll put it that way,” an unnamed soldier near Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine can be heard telling a colleague in a recording released by Ukraine’s Security Service late Tuesday.

“Do you know what he told us? ‘It’s no secret to anyone that there are only a few hours until this special operation is over.’ And now those hours are still going.”
He said soldiers are complaining about having Kevlar vests that lack the hard-armor panel, but they are ignored.
“‘Comrade General, damn it, I have this situation,’” he recalled troops telling their leader. “And he just says, ‘Son, be strong,’ and then he f*** off. It’s such trash here… our own plane dropped a bomb on us,” he said.
“They couldn’t even send off the 200s here,” he said, using a Russian military term for dead bodies. “They rode with us for five days.”
“Even in Chechnya, there was nothing like this,” he said, describing the situation as a “madhouse.”
“This ‘special operation,’ damnit… with respect to homes not meant to be destroyed… it’s bulls***.”

Ukraine also has a “muddy season” - I forget what they call it, but it is fairly nasty. Tanks cant get traction in it, and I can only imagine what it must be like for infantry to trudge through the stuff.
It’s actually colder here in the Deep South than in Kyev. But who are we to question the MSM?
Everything is going according to plan.
Writing or staying stuff that people WANT to read/hear.
No no, I’ve seen the light now. The Russian Army is completely unprepared to fight in winter conditions. I learned it on the MSM. You know. The people who lie about everything but for some reason are now widely accepted by scads of freepers.
First half of March was well below freezing.........
Did you not get the FR memo? All Ukrainians are evil “nazi” bastards, neither to be believed, nor trusted, nor upon whom one should dare to have a modicum of compassion. Whatever the Ukrainian government broadcasts is pure “fascist propaganda” from their “homo erotic,” “NWO puppet,” “globalist,” “pro-WEF,” “nazi” president. I mean, really - Zelenske truly is the anti-Christ - the false prophet - Satan incarnate.
OTOH, everything Russia broadcasts is the God’s honest truth. Vlad Putin is a “Christian soldier,” a “white knight savior of the great Russian people,” who will rid the world of the “Ukrainian Nazi scum!” - Vlad is the Second Coming of Christ, honest ... Tucker Carlson and his FR minions said so. Thy are never wrong - just ask them.
Crisis actors provided by WEF and NWO.
No, this Colonel didn’t die, apparently the tank just drove over both his legs and he is recovering in Belarus.
I’vee seen Russian-recorded video footage from Mariupol, where Russian soldiers were in a fire fight with the so-called “nazi” brigade ... At least one Russian soldier was wearing sneakers!
Sounds like he might wish he died - liked the Russian humor at end where the Chechen guy hopes the Col will be back on his feet soon.
Yahoo “News”? Got it.
Or, it could be that he is bringing it up preemptively in case any of the various deep state entities are going to try that excuse.
“Amazing that two Russian commanders would be speaking so frankly over an unencrypted radio channel.”
Nothing says they were two “commanders”, just soldiers. It has also been widely reported that Russia’s encrypted communications system isn’t working, which is why they have been forced to use systems that are vulnerable to eavesdropping.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Western (non-Ukrainian) intelligence agencies had a hand in the breakdown of Russian communication systems.
“30s then. Still not enough for frostbite.”
So you’ve never had to march all night in 30 degree weather wearing wet socks is what you are telling us.
I find the terms “yahoo” and “news” to be mutually exclusive.
Sevastopol is on a tip of land jutting out into the sea.
In summer, one would expect temperatures to be lower in Sevastopol than most of inland Ukraine, and in the winter, temperatures would be warmer in Sevatopol.
Frostbite, right! 😂😂😂😂😂
Instead of frostbite its sounds more likely to be trenchfoot.

No, but I’ve backpacked in winter.
