In two separate intercepted phone calls, Russian soldiers are telling their mothers about the state of food supply in the Russian army. In the first case, the invader says he had to eat a dog since they “wanted some meat”. In the other, the soldier describes how they provisions they are delivered are far from what is expected with only some random soups and vegetable salads that should rather be fed to animals.

Російські командири продають пайки своїх солдат, тому ті продовжують харчуватися собаками
