RUSSIAN TROOP SIN UKRAINE ARE GIVING UP
Meanwhile, it appears even the Russian troops sent to keep stolen Ukrainian territories in the Kremlin’s grip have conceded defeat.
An audio recording released by Ukrainian intelligence Saturday is said to capture a Russian soldier phoning his wife to say his final goodbye after he and his fellow troops found themselves encircled by the Ukrainian military.
“Thank god I got through,” the man can be heard saying as he apparently struggles to catch his breath.
“We’re encircled, Lyub. We’re ****** soon,” he says as she asks if he’s been ordered to go to his death fighting.
“Lyub! Lyub! I just called to say goodbye,” he responds, breaking down over the phone.
“No one, you hear? Don’t tell anyone at all. It is a disaster here,” he says through sobs, going on to beg for “just two minutes” to talk to his wife, saying he “doesn’t give a ****” if the phone call gives away his location to Ukrainian troops.
“**** it, let them get me!”
