Russian Commander Admits Ukraine Soldiers 'Shoot F**king Accurately' In Intercepted Call

A Russian commander recently admitted that soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are well-trained in marksmanship as they mount a solid defense against Moscow’s advances, a new recording revealed.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) on Monday released a recording of an intercepted telephone conversation wherein a Russian commander told an acquaintance that they are barely holding their positions in the village of Dovgenke due to numerous high-precision artillery strikes from the Ukrainians.

“They [Ukrainian defenders] get up drones to see where they are hitting. And start shelling from mortars. In a day, they burned seven pieces of equipment: an armored KAMAZ, some other s**t as well,” the commander, whose identity was not revealed, said.

“Their mortarmen and artillerymen shoot f**king accurately. They’ve adjusted their guns.”

The SSU noted that the phone call was intercepted before the Ukrainian army shelled Russian ammunition depots in Nova Kakhovka, Kherson and Chornobayivka in attacks that involved the use of US-supplied HIMARS multiple rocket launchers. Ukraine reported the attack on Tuesday on the Telegram page of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ communications office but did not specify whether the artillery strikes also occurred the same day.

The Russians first entered Ukraine in February in what they call a “special military operation.” Since then, it is estimated that Ukrainians have killed about 37,470 Russian invaders and destroyed more than 1,600 Russian tanks, 3,800 combat armored machines, 800 artillery systems, 180 helicopters and 600 unmanned aerial vehicles, data from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine showed.

The raging war and heavy military losses has now forced the Russian army to send representatives of the infamous Wagner Group and the Federal Security Service (FSB) to penal colonies in hopes of recruiting prisoners with combat experience to fight in the war.

Some prisoners who were recruited were promised that their families would be paid 5 million rubles ($90,500) should they die in the war. Other prisoners were also offered a monthly salary of 300,000 rubles ($5,300) if they agree to join the war, an investigation by Gulagu.net found.
