Vladimir Putin\u2019s starving troops have resorted to cannibalism, it has been claimed, after Ukrainian<\/a> forces said they had intercepted a radio broadcast detailing their plans “to eat their younger comrades”.<\/p>\n

Russian<\/a> soldiers carrying out the despot’s illegal invasion are being continually dogged by food shortages as they’re locked in a bitter stalemate on the frontlines, with Ukrainian intelligence saying earlier this year that troopers are stumping up the costs themselves for vital supplies like gas canisters, meat, grains and cigarettes.<\/p>\n

Ukraine<\/a> ‘s GUR military intelligence has said the situation is particularly grave for soldiers invading the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, who have now resorted to cannibalism.<\/p>\n

The spy agency said in its latest update: \u201cDue to a lack of food, the occupiers are sharpening their knives and preparing to eat their younger comrades.”The agency added it had intercepted a radio broadcast that reportedly recorded a Russian soldier saying: \u201cWe’ll eat each other, it’s all ****ed up here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re already looking for someone younger. I\u2019ve sharpened my knives. I don’t give a **** who I have to cut up. I just want to eat. **** everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another recording intercepted by the GUR, a Russian soldier was reportedly heard complaining about the lack of available supplies, saying: \u201cGas canisters are not issued, f**k. What we get is canned meat, grains, and cigarettes, and that\u2019s it \u2013 nothing else. The rest we have to buy with our own money or people send it from home,\u201d one could be heard saying.”<\/p>\n

The GUR said: \u201cCannibalism is becoming a common practice among Russian soldiers. In June this year, it became known that a serviceman of the 68th Motor Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces<\/a> had been eating his \u2018comrade\u2019 for two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a message to Putin\u2019s hungry troops, the Ukrainians said: \u201cThe Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence<\/a> of Ukraine reminds [you that] Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine are fed three times a day.\u201d They were given instructions on how to safely surrender.<\/p>\n

Separately, footage has appeared of Ukraine\u2019s new defensive lines in Zaporizhzhia region to prevent Putin\u2019s troops taking more territory. Kyiv\u2019s defence minister Denys Shmyhal said: \u201cWork on the construction of fortifications continues in all front-line regions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across the frontline regions he said: \u201cThe forces of the State Special Transport Service have already built 2,130 platoon strongholds, around 1,864 miles of anti-tank ditches, more than 621 miles of barricade pyramids, about 9,942 miles of Egoza [razor wire] barrier lines and roughly 2,672 miles of low-visibility obstacles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Russian forces have started using metal sea containers as protection for tanks in one of the more bizarre innovations of the war.<\/p>\n

This is seen as offering protection from Ukrainian aerial drone strikes. Footage shows the tanks on patrol on the frontline with the fitted sea containers. A tank is also seen dragging a container across a field to deploy for \u201cmilitary purposes\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ukrainian GUR intelligence agency said in a recent update that Russian troopers have declared ‘I don’t give…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":646773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[11740,12,332,24155,333,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-646772","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-ministry-of-defence","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-russia","11":"tag-soldiers","12":"tag-vladimir-putin","13":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115759017576261945","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=646772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/646773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=646772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=646772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=646772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
