Russia's soldiers were heard cursing out their commanders and complaining that they were getting crushed, according to Ukraine.
Insider couldn't verify the authenticity of the two exchanges, but they seem to offer more insight into the state of the Russian military after months of fighting.
A conversation between a man and a woman was the first audio clip shared by The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. They don't know what their relationship is or when the conversation happened.
The man told the woman that he barely survived a mortar attack on the building he was hiding in, and that there had been a hard battle. The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said the man was in the Kherson region, but didn't give any more information.
A tank was trying to get us after the roof went off. The man said in the audio that the shot came close to them.
He said that the new commander gave some useless orders over the radio. The place fell because of him. We were being fucked all the time.
The man referred to Chechen forces as "bloody cowardices".
The Chechens have been fighting with Russians. Ramzan Kadyrov has described himself as Putin's "foot soldier" and is an ally of the Russian president.
A man can be heard telling a woman how he was kicked out of a village in the second conversation shared by The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
The man said he was in the eastern Kherson region. They don't know what their relationship is.
It has been that way for a long time. It was all taken but then we were pushed back. In Izyum, the same thing happened. We are being pressured as well.
Izyum was one of the large swaths of territory that was captured by Ukrainian troops. The mass burial site contained at least 440 bodies.
The woman said "I just don't get this at all" in the audio.
The man said who the fuck knew. They are all messed up.
The woman said she didn't get anything.
The man didn't think we did.
The "regrouping of forces" has been framed by Russian state media as the reason for Moscow's setbacks.
Since the beginning of the invasion on February 24, Putin has failed to achieve most of his objectives due to a number of logistical problems.
