On March 22, media reported the use of ammunition banned by international agreements over the northwestern outskirts of Kyiv. On April 27, the russians dropped phosphorus bombs on Avdiivka in Donetsk region.

In phone conversations with their families and friends, Ruscists who stay in trenches in Ukraine openly tell them about the war crimes that they committed against peaceful civilians – usually happily and laughing. 

Judging by the conversations recorded by the Security Service of Ukraine and Chief Intelligence Department of Ukraine’s Defence Ministry, Russians consider the war a way to have fun because it gives them a chance to kill someone with no fear of punishment, a chance to slit a captured person’s throat or shoot someone in the back. They also take it as an opportunity to “enjoy” the view of napalm or phosphorus ammunition burning down Ukrainian towns and villages. This is what a russian military man tells his mother during the conversation recorded by the SBU, Security Service of Ukraine. 

“Hello, hi,” says the ‘peaceful’ russian woman who scornfully calls Ukrainians “cockroaches”.

“We had so much fun today. So, we’re sitting next to this radio station, and we’re listening to the radio chatter. So, our anti-aircraft gunners say: “High alert. Two planes are going to swoop in soon, in 10-15 minutes.” And the next message is: “They already dropped the payload and left. That’s it, stand down.” So, the Khokhols did it and flied away”. 

(For russians, Ukrainians are “Khokhols”, “Ukrops”, “cockroaches”, “lard eaters”; and when the Russian-Ukrainian war started, they also call Ukrainians “neo-Nazis”, “Ukro-fascists”, etc. Similarly, they call Poles “pszeks” and Germans are “Hanses”, and the people of other nationalities are either “slanted” or “monkeys”. One could not pay any attention to this page in the history of the “great russian culture”, if it was not for hatred for all nations in the world; the wars in Syria, Georgia and Ukraine followed that hatred.    

“Is your connection lagging?”, the occupant’s mother wonders. 

“They told us that we will fire some napalm. I’ve no clue why the f*** we need this napalm for. It’s useless… And phosphorus is useless, too. So we’re launching this phosphorus stuff, firing it… (swearing)

“So they are resilient, aren’t they? Like cockroaches?”, the “peaceful” russian woman wonders.

“Well, the phosphorus and cluster ammunition… they don’t care. Well, the phosphorus actually does the job; everything melts down. But it looks so beautiful in the night, when you watch the phosphorus falling”.

“Sure”, the murderer’s mother agrees.

Another russian occupant tells his father how his comrades used phosphorus bombs and shells. Employees of the Chief Intelligence Department of Ukraine’s Defence Ministry recorded that conversation. 

“Oh, the phosphorus flies”, Ruscist says joyfully. 

“The phosphorus? Is it far away?”

“I don’t know. We’ll see. It’s just that our battalion commander went nuts and decided to land a huge attack on these freaks”.  

“Are you landing phosphorus on them?”, father asks again.

“Yes! I can’t remember whether it’s an MLRS launching it, or…”

“It’s banned by the Geneva convention…”

“Dad, have you any idea of how much of this stuff that’s basically banned is used here?”

These two conversations between the occupants and their parents (who actually don’t sound like they’re in despair about the fact that their children became murderers of women and children in this war) make another piece of evidence of the russian society; it’s ready to fight for the wicked ideas of the Kremlin-based maniac. And, of course, for money and the opportunity to loot.
