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***.”

They have had nights going down to zero Fahrenheit in Northern Ukraine, since the invasion began, and many were in tents North of there for weeks prior.
Last week was in teens
Try doing some research ...........
It’s now apparent Russia’s CCC is thoroughly compromised.
NATO knows every word, every plan.
And they share it directly with Ukraine.
Agree. Way too many Russian field grade and general officers dropping for it to be Ukrainian dumb luck. USAF aircraft and other assets are scooping every Russian fart up and passing on actionable intel to Kyiv.
Share this with Zelenskyy and Biden so they will stop making dangerous references to a prospect of a World War Three.
Stop with the BS - it’s been sub-freezing there at night.
I’m thinking more like trench foot. No idea how good their military foot gear is, but that could be it.
There are photos of Russian troops using looted Ukrainian military boots. Supposedly they prefer them to their own.
Ukraine is a big country. It’s much colder near Kharkov than along the Black Sea coast. It was very cold there early last week (0F-5F at night) but much warmer this week.
The Russian army is garbage.
The Russians are an expeditionary force. There is a huge difference between the home and away teams here. Some Ukrainians are actually commuting daily from home to the front lines around Kyiv now. It’s become something of a meme.
I guess we’ll find out in a few months after the propaganda dissipates. I just find it hard to believe that the Russian Army couldn’t deal with this.
Why? Russian tanks ran out of gas only a few miles over the border. Russian $10+ million anti aircraft missile systems were captured because cheap Chinese tires went flat. Russia has got it all wrong, basically. A total clown show of a military campaign that will be studied for generations.
Yahoo News.. as accurate as CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, ABC, NPR etc.
You learned all that on the MSM?
You can put your indicator ANYWHERE you choose on the map, and it will tell you the weather there. I used Sebastopol simply because it was the first place I thought of.
There are many photos/videos of Pantsirs with shredded tires, getting towed by Ukrainian farmers, etc. Russian tanks abandoned and out of gas. Etc., etc. Call it all fake news if you want.
While on opposite sides of the political analysis, we can agree on that.
I believe it indisputable.
Unless he has a remote control for his tank, I don't see how that's possible.
How are the Russian civilians suffering?
Absolutely agree. Ukraine citizens are running for there lives. I hear a lot of citizens in Russia aren’t for this war. Will our sanctions effect them. Obviously not in the same way..
