Russian troops are being forced to eat dogs because of food shortages, Ukraine's security service has claimed.
The SBU, Kyiv's security and intelligence agency, released a text message exchange purportedly between two Russian soldiers, in which a serviceman stationed in the occupied parts of the Kherson region, close to Crimea, told his friend that he and other troops had eaten a Yorkshire terrier.
"It's all f*****. [Ukrainians] are f****** beating us like kids. We eat dogs, there's no food. Today we ate a Yorkie. A Yorkshire terrier," the soldier was quoted as saying by the SBU.
Responding to this message, the other serviceman replied: "Oh heck. Although that's an understatement."
The Ukrainian agency said it had intercepted the conversation. "This is evidenced by the correspondence of the Russian aggressor, which was intercepted by the SBU," it added.
The soldier also texted that the Russian army had no logistics and "simply can't deliver" rations, according to the security service.
The SBU added in a statement: "This contrasts sharply with the 'victorious' picture broadcast on Russian television. So, to his friend's surprised remark that their mass media 'only draw victories,' he answers: 'Let them come here and draw.'"
In late March, the SBU made a similar allegation, claiming that it had tapped a phone call in which Russian soldiers discussed eating dog meat instead of their ration packs.
Troops were "sick" of the ready-to-eat rations they had been given, a soldier is said to have told his family. "Are you eating OK at least?" he is asked.
The serviceman replied: "Not too bad. We had alabay [a sheepdog breed found in Central Asia] yesterday. We wanted some meat."
This claim too has not been independently verified. Newsweek has contacted Russia's foreign ministry for comment.

Yorkie Stroganoff. It’s what’s for dinner.
Probably taste like chicken.
Newsweek was sold for a dollar. They over paid.
Ukraine says....
Probably Chinese.
Dog meat? Are these Chinese troops invading Ukraine?
Russia these days has plenty of food.
Only thing worse are the ones eating this constant stream of propaganda from the MSM. Pitiful.
Propaganda much? Next Ukraine will tell us the Russians ran out of Vodka...
I am not ‘rooting’ for the Russians. There is much unclear about this war and to be honest, I’m not always certain who the Bad Guys are. That being said, it is strange that a country as big as Russia would not be providing their troops with foods.
Unexpectedly careless.
Guess we don’t need to send Ukraine any more weapons. Just wait a week and all Russians will starve to death
Yep!
What are they complaining about? Isn’t that a staple of Chinese cuisine?
What BS. The Western media is complete disinfo.
Clever Russians broadcasting out a coded message for Chinese reinforcements.
They are withholding it from the rest of the world according to Biden.
Russkie generals are keeping the vodka rations high, so their troops can properly wash down the dog stews.
The other red meat.
