It is not the first time that the Ukrainian secret service SBU has intercepted and published calls from Russian soldiers. On Monday, he published on Twitter a conversation that was reportedly recorded between a Russian soldier and his acquaintance.
What the soldier describes in it is unbelievable. After an introductory conversation, the soldier reports that he has not met anyone except old women in the Ukrainian villages. His interlocutor asks and wants to know the reason for this.
The soldier replies: «All raped and killed. When we suddenly had to leave Lyman, we killed everyone.” It was the same everywhere he came with his unit. “We just walked around and shot. We took all the young men. But we raped and shot the young women.”
Ukrainians discovered mass grave after recapture
The city of Lyman in the Donetsk region was occupied by Russian troops for four months, since then most of the buildings have been destroyed and the surrounding forests have been cleared. The Ukrainian army retook the city in October, but fighting in the area continues. Among other things, a mass grave was discovered when the Ukrainians returned to the region.
The brutal actions of the Russian army repeatedly make headlines. The Bucha massacre in the spring of 2022 caused an international sensation. The city has become a symbol of the horrors of the Russian offensive war in Ukraine. Numerous bodies of civilians were found there. Moscow has always denied all war crimes and spoke of “counterfeits”. (Hi)
