| [Insider] Intercepted radio transmissions reveal Russians ordered troops in Ukraine to target residential areas, the New York Times reported. Audio from the unsecured radio networks obtained by The Times show Russian troops discussing targets while advancing on the Ukrainian town of Makariv on February 27. In one bit of radio chatter, a Russian is heard ordering a military member to "cover" residential areas "with artillery" once the "property" is removed, according to The Times' translation. A Russian who identifies himself in the recording as "Yug-95" told soldier "Buran-30" that a "decision has been made to remove the first 'property' from the residential area," according to a translation by the New York Times. He then instructed the soldier to "cover the residential area with artillery," The Times reported. He repeated the orders twice, The Times reported. New York Times journalist Christiaan Triebert reported that "property" was likely code for "Russian personnel or equipment." |
