‘We were allowed to be slaughtered’: calls by Russian forces intercepted
The Guardian ^ | December 20, 2022 | Daniel Boffey and Pjotr Sauer

Posted on 12/21/2022 4:44:55 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Out on the frontline, near the eastern Ukrainian city of Lyman, on 8 November at 15.10, a Russian serviceman called Andrey decided to ignore the orders of his superiors and call his mother with an unauthorised mobile phone.

“No one feeds us anything, mum,” he complained. “Our supply is s**t, to be honest. We draw water from puddles, then we strain it and drink it.”

Russian forces had been on the back foot in the Donetsk oblast for weeks. Lyman, taken by the Russians in May, was liberated by Ukrainian forces in October.

Two days before Andrey made his afternoon call back home, the Russian forces had “finally” started firing at Ukrainian positions with phosphorus bombs, he told his mother, but the promises of munitions that could turn the battle had come to nothing.

“Where are the missiles that Putin boasted about?” he asked. “There is a high-rise building right in front of us. Our soldiers can’t hit it. We need one Caliber cruise missile and that’s it.”

Andrey reassured his mother, who lives in Kostroma, a city 310 miles north-east of Moscow, that he would be OK. “I always say prayers Mum,” he said. “Every morning.”

It is not known whether those prayers were met. When approached by the Guardian his mother said her son was not with her, before breaking down in tears and putting the phone down.

If you had a clue, you would know that Russia can’t raise the military effort to do anything but try to hold on to whats left.

Meanwhile immense fires within the Russian cities are destroying Russian oil and strategic assets

The Russian soldiers in Ukraine call home using the own mobile phones, which connect through Ukrainian cell towers, and are thus intercepted by Ukrainian Intelligence.

YES, the Russians are THAT stupid.

Exactly. These calls seem very suspicious in their authenticity. Would a soldier really give his name, and the city where his mother lives? After disobeying orders?

It is bullshit. They don’t have even sources of power in field camps to charge cell phones. Forbidden.

Also there no Ukrainian cell towers exist anymore. All cell towers behind front line in Russian back areas aren’t controlled by Ukraine. It was done in first month of this war.

SO all these interceptions are Ukrainian fakes for stupid people.
