A new intercepted phone call, published by the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Service (HUR), reveals the state of chaos, lack of coordination, and collapse of the command chain within the Russian occupation forces.
In the recording, a Russian commander is caught shouting hysterically at his subordinates due to delays in carrying out a military operation, writes Kyiv Post.
"Why the hell aren't you flying yet, you idiot? A lot of time has passed, the boys need help!" the officer can be heard yelling, furious about a delay that endangers the troops' lives.
An intercepted call reveals chaos in the Russian army
The commander desperately calls for the immediate dispatch of a support unit, accusing his subordinates of delaying the mission and endangering the lives of Russian soldiers. He continues in an increasingly aggressive tone:
"Give me the people and resources before the mission, not the other way around! They make decisions on their own because you can't organize anything!"
Furthermore, the officer accuses his subordinate of being only concerned about "food and drink", not the fate of the mission, while the language turns into insults and explicit threats.
"The boys are running like crazy, you bastard, we can't even look, help them, support them! Move, damn it, how long are you going to delay?"
The most dramatic part of the recording comes when the commander admits that there have already been human losses due to the chaos:
"The boys are dying, and we can't even help them, damn it!"
The interception is a new example of the lack of organization, collapsed morale, and command incapacity within the Russian army, under pressure on the front line in Ukraine.
According to HUR, such evidence highlights the grim reality on the ground: decisions made chaotically, widespread panic, and a chronic lack of coordination leading to loss of human lives.
The HUR statement ends with the standard message: "Every war crime committed against the Ukrainian people will receive its due punishment."
