Russian officer says war a ‘madhouse’ in call allegedly intercepted by Ukraine
[IsraelTimes] A Russian officer tells his superiors the war in Ukraine is a "madhouse" according to a call allegedly intercepted by Ukraine.According to a translation posted online, the officer says the war is going worse than Russia’s war in Chechnya in the 1990s. The officer continues to say that around half the troops have frostbite, they are unable to evacuate the hundreds of dead, and don’t have enough tents and body armor. He says the operation is a "madhouse" after higher-ups thought it would go relatively easy, according to the translation. "Our task was to get to Mykolaiv. And we are sitting here," the officer says. The translation and authenticity of the call could not be independently verified. [Twitter] If some of our Russian speakers would listen to see if the translation is reasonably accurate, and that the speaker does indeed sound like a real Russian soldier, that would be helpful. More translation in the Twitter thread.
