One of the Russian soldiers may have eaten his colleague before he was killed on the front line on Ukraine. This is reported by the British newspaper Metro with reference to the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
According to the GUR, the incident occurred near the villages of Zapadnoye and Liman First in the eastern part of the Kharkiv region.
"On the record published in Telegram by the Military Intelligence Service of Ukraine (GUR), it is said that a soldier with the call sign Keychain lived for two weeks at the expense of the remains of his comrade. The victim, Thomas, was declared missing by the Russian command, but later it turned out that the cannibal killed her for food,"the publication says.
It is alleged that the relevant conversation was intercepted. The recording allegedly shows the commander of the reconnaissance unit of the 68th Motorized Rifle Division The RF Armed Forces "tells in detail about the horrors of one of its subordinates."
"No one escaped. The keychain pulled it out and then ate it for two damn weeks," the military allegedly said.
According to him, the cannibal was later found dead.
"They say he was 200, damn it. Well, he ate his friend, so it's worth thinking about," he added.
"The Ukrainian special services have repeatedly intercepted telephone conversations that spoke of extreme psychological stress, internal struggle and disregard for human life among Russian troops," the publication says.
Note that the expressions "damn week" and "damn it" smell like Hollywood. It is highly doubtful that the Russian military used these constructions in the conversation, if such a conversation really took place.
