Russian troops in disarray; refusing to obey orders: Report...

Russian soldiers taking part in the invasion of Ukraine are in ‘complete disarray, according to voice recordings obtained by a British intelligence company.

The intercepted radio messages indicate that troops are refusing to obey central command orders to shell Ukrainian towns and are complaining about running out of supplies of food and fuel.

The recordings are among around 24 hours of material obtained by intelligence firm ShadowBreak since the invasion of Ukraine began last week.

In one of the eavesdropped conversations, listened to by The Telegraph, a soldier reportedly sounded as though he was crying.

In another, a soldier was heard losing his temper when asking when food or fuel would arrive.

He said: “We’ve been here for three days! When the hell is it going to be ready?”

Two Russian troops – believed to be Rafik Rakhmankulov, 19 (left) and Mgomd Mgomdov, 26, from Kizilyurt (right) who were captured by Ukrainian forces in the country’s east.

A third message revealed a tense exchange in which the same soldier had to remind a colleague speaking from a command centre that they could not use artillery on an area until civilians – who were labelled ‘the goods’ – had left.

ShadowBreak’s founder Samuel Cardillo, 26, told The Telegraph he had been sent the messages by amateurs listening in with antennas.

He said: “What we have found is that the Russian operatives are operating in complete disarray.

“They have no clue where they are going and how to really communicate with each other properly.”

He added: “There were periods where we heard them (Russian soldiers) crying in combat, a period where they were insulting each other – obviously not a sign of great morale.’

Cardillo said that some of the messages were also ‘proof of war crimes’ because they revealed order to fire missiles into urban areas.

Other video recordings are said to show Russian soldiers retreating back into Russia after becoming frustrated, whilst a text message sent by a soldier to his mother is alleged to have said: “The only thing I want right now is to kill myself.”

In a further sign that morale may be poor, a senior U.S. defence official told the New York Times on Tuesday that some troops have “deliberately punched holes” in their vehicles’ petrol tanks in the hope of avoiding combat.

Parts of the Russian military are also still using analogue ‘walkie-talkie’ two-way radios, making them more vulnerable to interception.

Ukrainian forces are also said to have had no problem jamming Russian communications and interrupting them with the sound of their national anthem. NAN

this war has really exposed the Russian military, their tech isn't state of the art, their planning for logistics during combat is poor, economy is weak. The only tin keeping them as world power is if the vast amount and number of amunitions, planes, warships add nuclear war head they have accumulated over decades

Ontop tiny Ukraine lamba

Communist?
The western media should do better.

The Chinese adage that God is with the army with the largest soldiers is about to be proved wrong

The bitter truth is Ukraine MUST fall to Putin, that's the goal.
As Belarus is to Russia, so shall Ukraine and there's no other substitute to this.
Putin's a mad man not to be F with.
Euro ing Ukraine on paper, she cannot interfere in this... CANNOT!

What do you expect from Russian products.

They have done a good job deceiving the rest of the world like the North Korean Rocket man

Mutinous ke? Stalin would have ordered them shot to death putin should do the needful

I hope it's not attributed to the hand of God

I thought some people said before Sunday, i.e 3days ago Putin would have been trough with Ukraine

Hmm

Ukraine will bow to russia powers

Imagine starting an unnecessary war and still not winning it...

Russian advances on Ukrain capital...Almost 60Km long convoy Russian tankers moving toward the kviev.But you are giving us wrong template as the west project.. Enough of this madness and let the both slavic countries shield there swords and embrace peace for the humanity at large.

Isn't All Fair in Love & War?
Why the confusion over carrying out orders from the high command?
This seems like another war propaganda/tactics.



In as much I ire Putin's defiance of the West, I Pledge my unwaivering allegiance to the West.
The West schooled me, The West shaped me.
The West may not be perfect, but my ideology comes from the West.
I have got no apology for ing the West (even in all its imperfections) I can only but strive for a better World for all. But if push comes to shove, I'd fight with the West. I am a Western Soldier.
Russia has never impacted in my life in any shape or form. All my friends and associates are based in the West and its allies, how can I be so foolish to a pariah state I know nothing of its culture or business?
I want to believe all those ing Putin are being sponsored by the KGB, the Kremlin and its allies if not then the foolishness I'm witnessing on Nairaland and Nigeria from Putin ers is unprecedented.
I think Nigerians need more military training to build up our acumen on the essence of Loyalty and a crash course on the Politics of World Domination and War.

#EnoughSaid.

And God has thrown them into confusion. They should go and bomb Russia instead. Putin is crazy

Tinubu news telling me Wassup on European battle front.... Mcheeew

I just pity those who consume every trash dished out by Western media thinking that they are getting real news update.

Russia military has taken over several Ukrainian cities yet they are in need of food and fuel. Na only zom.bies go consume this type of propaganda.
