• In a phone call, a Russian soldier said that the war was bad.

  • The call was published to social media.

  • Russian troops have been scrambled by an ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Ukrainian intelligence intercepts a phone call in which a Russian soldier tells his father that his fellow troops have no place to hide.

A phone call between a Russian soldier and his father was released by the Ukrainian intelligence service.

The soldier told his father how things were when he asked how things were. On top of that, we are losing.

"You know how many injuries we have?" the soldier asks, according to the report. There is no place to run. They continue to advance.

The phone call came as both Russia and Ukraine continued to publish content that appeared to show the suffering of enemy forces, as part of a larger information war that the two sides have been waged for domestic and international audiences.

Since the beginning of September, Ukrainian forces have reclaimed thousands of square miles of territory from Russia in the northeastern region of the country.

The "regrouping of forces" has been framed by Russian state media.

The General Staff of the armed forces of Ukraine said that the Russian troops were shocked by the rapid advance of the Ukrainians. Russian soldiers who fled have left behind a lot of weapons and equipment.

The success of the counteroffensive by the Ukrainians is no surprise to anyone other than Putin and his troops, according to the Pentagon spokesman.

The Ukrainians have shown a remarkable ability to use their warfighting capabilities to great effect, so it's not surprising to us that they have pushed as quickly as they have.

The current counteroffensive in Kharkiv is no exception to that, as they have shown a remarkable ability to take advantage of opportunities on the battlefield.
