An audio recording of call was uploaded on Twitter after it was captured by Ukraine's security services.

Security Service of Ukraine shared audio with caption, " Russian occupiers are degrading with each passing day of war: y have already started raping mirs and eating dogs SBU has at its disposal new interceptions of telephone conversations of racists, which show ir atrocities and a real moral portrait."

Soldiers given packs of Ready-to-Eat Meal

Russian troops have already been accused of robbing shops and begging for food from Ukrainians.
