In one of the conversations published by the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence (GUR), you can hear the words of a woman who claims that she and her friend are going to the military prosecutor’s office. However, he claims that if more people joined the protest, it would be more effective.
She told her son Dima: “There should be more people with us.” “If I go there alone, everyone will take an interest in me.” Tell your children to contact their relatives. They should be calling families too, not just you.
Soldier’s mission
She also persuades Dima to record a video, in the hope that it will help her The protest will have a greater impact. He says: “Dima, listen to me carefully.” – Be sure to record a video with your friends or ask them to call their wives. Then they should join our complaint.
The woman does not specify what the main message of the film is, but it is alleged He should criticize the military authorities and their irresponsible decisions. In the intercepted conversation, Dima’s answers should be inaudible.
The woman adds: “Get up and record the video.” You don’t need the internet for this and then you figure out how to send it. The most important thing is that it will be recorded.
At the end of the conversation, the woman promised her son that she would bring him home from the front line:
without support
In another intercepted conversation, two women spoke of a video recorded by Russian soldiers – complaining about the command’s actions that were supposed to “send them to their death” – going viral on gossip sites. One of the women is said to be the mother of a Russian soldier.
– How are you? asks the first interlocutor.
“Well, today your man is getting a lot of attention on all internet sites. Zima (commander of the 3rd Motorized Rifle Brigade) is famous today! The Russians from Voronezh recorded a video, and their soldiers’ wives wrote a letter, in which they mentioned it [Zima] sending them to their deaths, the other replies.
– They mentioned it Many men died and they had no support. They also confirmed it All humanitarian aid was taken away. They couldn’t count on her when they needed her most. This message spread to all sites and It becomes the subject of gossip everywhere she added.
There are no deserters among the Russians
Contract soldiers received the Kremlin orders to get rid of all soldiers, They fight in the first line of defense if they try to retreat or leave their positions. Documents listing them as missing in action (MIA) have already been prepared. This information supposedly comes from previously published and intercepted conversations that Russian soldiers and their friends or family had with each other.
The situation for the soldiers on both sides is difficult. The counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army is still going on, which is trying to break through the Russian defense lines. Although Ukrainian soldiers told the Kyiv Post they would keep fighting, morale has suffered – and a quick end to the war is nowhere in sight.
Ukrainian soldiers move in a tank towards the front line and the Ukrainian army targets the trenches of Russian forces in Donetsk region, Ukraine, August 8, 2023.
However, the revelations of conversations intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence services may indicate that the Russian military is in a more difficult position. The soldiers begin to fear their own as well as the Ukrainian enemy.
