Russian soldiers complain about being sent to war

 Business Insider:

Ukrainian authorities published audio they say shows a Russian soldier complaining to his partner that he had been sent "to slaughter" during Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

The Security Service of Ukraine shared audio of a conversation between a man and woman on Friday, and said it was a conversation between an "occupier" and his wife.

"Here, you know, they just send us to slaughter. It's not a smart way at all," the man's voice says in the audio. It is not clear where in Ukraine the man was, or when the conversation took place.

He said that as he moves, Ukrainian soldiers are "waiting for you, watching, expecting you. They've adjusted guns to these fucking trenches. You reach there, some point, and they're fucking watching you!"

He said that Ukraine's ability to fire from far away meant he and his fellow soldiers could not respond in kind.

"They just sit drinking coffee and press buttons — and just throw shells on you."

"Where do you shoot? Whom do you shoot? There's fucking no one. Fuck knows. And here you're rushing around like an asshole.

"So many of our tanks have been burned here, so many pieces of equipment, damn it.

"And our fuckheads can't even hit them. They can't fucking locate them. Our fucking brainless brigade. Our army. These fucking asshole commanders . Every day, people die here. Just for fucking nothing."
...

It should be no surprise that the people you are attacking will try to stop you by firing at you.  That is how warfare works.  The guy is right that the Russian effort does not make much sense.  Ukraine was never a threat to Russia.
