A conversation between a Russian conscript and his wife intercepted by the Security Service of Ukraine testifies to the organization of Russian troops at the front and the work of “blockade troops” who must shoot conscripts if they try to escape, Ukrainian Pravda reports.

According to the intercept, the recruited prisoners are shot by the recruits, who in turn are shot by the regular troops.

“The convicts were brought here from the colony. Earlier they were driven somewhere. And we are here as barricades: if someone escapes, we eliminate him. This is how it’s done here: I mean, we’re here on the second line, guarding the first, and there’s another line behind us. You can’t escape there either. It is impossible to escape – our people will be shot…”, says the Russian recruit.

The occupier complains to his wife that “according to the papers” he should not be in active military service at all; according to the plan, he should be in training now.

The recruit also says that there is no food at all at the front, and those who do not have money eat sprouted wheat from the fields.

Currently, images of Russian recruits who either did not undergo the necessary training or were forced to buy provisions on their own were being circulated.

Soldiers of the invasion army deployed to Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin have filmed themselves complaining that they were abandoned in the forest with no food or water and only rifles.
