Vladimir Putin’s troops have been hit by plummeting morale after the quick victory promised by the tyrant has turned into a bloodbath in the face of fierce Ukrainian resistance.

At the start of phone call, a woman asks the soldier “God, when will this end” to which he replies that his situation is “scary granny”.

He then says that his “whole brigade was smashed” and that “I don’t know how God saved me”.

“To be honest with you I would get the f** out of here right now and I don’t care,” the soldier tells her.

“The main thing is to survive the hell. We thought everything would be over in two weeks. It’s been almost a month already.”

The call and the English translation was shared on the Telegram account of government adviser and foreign minister Anton Gerashchenko.

In it, the soldier goes on to talk about the cold and how soldiers and officer’s legs and hands are “frozen up” from living in trenches.

“F*** this money. No one needs it,” he says, before cursing Vladimir Putin.

The intercepted call comes after another in which a soldier complained about his comrades getting frostbite and meeting fierce Ukrainian resistance.

Conditions had become so bad that "50 percent" of his squadron were suffering from frostbite, he said.

Speaking to a commander in a three-minute telephone call the soldier said troops were being forced to "ride around" with the dead because they couldn't be transported out.

He also said troops had been bogged down by Ukrainian resistance and lacked proper amenities and medical supplies.

He also said they were now being forced to live in trenches.

The disillusioned squaddie also complained about not having enough armour and being stuck outside Mykolaiv for days despite being promised a "swift" victory.


It comes as...


Ukraine is now littered with the burnt out wrecks of Russian tanks and armoured vehicles, charred remains of downed aircraft, and the dead bodies of soldiers - many of who were teenage conscripts.

As the fighting takes its toll on Russian troops, stories are beginning to emerge of anger and plummeting morale.

One soldier allegedly drove his tank into his commanding officer as he protested horrific losses among his comrades.

Colonel Yuri Medvedev was hospitalised with severe leg injuries after the reported incident.

Russia accidentally revealed it has lost 10,000 troops, when the figure was disclosed by a pro-Kremlin newspaper.

But NATO has said that figure could be as high as 15,000 with the total losses including wounded, captured or missing up to 40,000.

If the estimate is correct, then Russian losses in just under a month in Ukraine are now the same as they suffered during their ten year war in Afghanistan, which ended in 1989.

In response to the faltering invasion, Putin has now reportedly placed General Vladislav Yershov under house arrest.
