Ukraine's ambassador to the United Nations on Monday read out what he said were the final text messages from a Russian soldier to his mother - describing his horror at the unfolding war before he was killed.
It came during an emergency session of the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine's representative, Sergiy Kyslytsya, made an impassioned plea for help, holding up a screenshot of the soldier's texts.
'Mom I'm no longer in Crimea,' they began. 'I'm not in training sessions.'
His mother asks: 'Where are you then? Papa is asking whether I can send you a parcel.'
'What kind of a parcel mama can you send me,' he responds
'What are you talking about? What happened?'
'Mama, I'm in Ukraine,' he responds, before describing the horror unfolding.
'There is a real war raging here. I'm afraid. We are bombing all of the cities together, even targeting civilians.
'We were told that they would welcome us and they are falling under our armored vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass.
'They call us fascists. Mama. This is so hard.'
Kyslytsya concluded the exchange by saying the last message was sent 'moments' before the soldier was killed.

Then, they will look for a way to end it, provided Putin does not somehow successfully conclude it soon
I make an effort to regularly surf through Russian social media to get a rough sense of attitudes, realizing of course there are a lot of Kremlebots pushing the regime talking points and many regular Russians are afraid to voice their opinions
Nevertheless my sense is that most people are still in stages 1 and 2 of Kuebler-Ross
But it is impossible to forever isolate Russians from other sources of information in the world, at some point perceptions will change
One thing that would help Putin hold public opinion would be direct military activities by the US
Don't be surprised if Putin tries a false flag framing us for something as a way to sustain Russian support
The unity of the EU against the Russian invasion makes it hard for the Putin supporters to direct all hatred at the Americans as a PR strategy and is a big game-changer
If China comes out affirmatively against the invasion that would be huge, many Russians are saying, well we can always do business with China
LOL. It’s almost adorable how hamfisted and amateurish the propaganda is from societies without a long background needing quality marketing and advertising.
To have your child lied to and killed in war you see no need for, will be very hard.
Ha ha haaaa thanks for the laugh! WHAT ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT!!
I wonder if this is how the parents learned their son is dead. The mother would recognize the text messages.
That is some of the lousiest propaganda I have ever seen.
It is probably propaganda, but well done propaganda.
“’We were told that they would welcome us and they are falling under our armored vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass.”
LOL... yeah, sure.
I was thinking the same thing
If this is real, word will get out in Russia that this is real
Hard to believe how many HERE are just falling for this without so much as a critical thought. Even after what happened the past two years.
Fake story and here’s a fake video.

Crisis actors.
They have free press in Russia and everyone would be told by Russian media about such events.
I don’t believe these are actual texts from a Russian soldier to his mother.

I put a very similar comment in another thread about this story. It’s hard to belive but I can see a lot of people on this forum voting for Biden. Can’t change horses mid stream after all
They really need a Madison avenue ad firm. This is a real eye roller.
BTW, has anyone seen pics of the wreckage of the two IL-76 planes shot down? And no fair using the Ukrainian one shot down a few years ago by Lugansk.
Hello muthah...
Hello fathah...
Havin a great time...
"We were told we were being sent for training at first, but we were put on the frontline. People were demoralized and didn't want to go, but they said you will become public enemies. We do not want this war. We just want to go home and we want peace."
Nothing has showed up anywhere, and these are huge planes
However, Associated Press claims two US sources confirmed it, and the US is closely monitoring the airspace
Deep state.......
Yep. I do not believe a word I hear from ANY news source. I wait a long time before I make any judgements on any issue, because I know they are LIARS.
