Grim Survival Tale Emerges from Ukraine War Frontline
In a disturbing turn of events, a Russian soldier reportedly killed and consumed a fellow soldier to survive harsh conditions on the Ukraine battlefield. Known by the nickname Brelok, he later died, as revealed through intercepted military communications.
The Shocking Incident Uncovered
According to intercepted phone calls between Russian troops, the soldier called Brelok murdered his comrade, known as Foma, and ate parts of his body to endure the extreme circumstances. One soldier confided, "Brelok f***ing ate him... for two f***ing weeks," while another expressed disbelief upon learning that Brelok was found dead, using the military term "200" to indicate a fatality.
This unsettling account underscores the severe psychological and physical pressures faced by soldiers embroiled in the ongoing conflict.
Recruitment of Criminals Raises Ethical Questions
Amid ongoing tensions, it has been revealed that Russian military forces have enlisted individuals with criminal records, including murderers and convicted cannibals, to bolster their ranks. One such figure, Denis Gorin from Sakhalin, who was sentenced to 22 years for multiple murders—acts which included cannibalism—was released last year to fight in Ukraine under the Storm-Z unit. He sustained injuries in combat and was subsequently pardoned by President Vladimir Putin.
Others include:
- Nikolay Ogolobiak: Convicted in 2008 for killing two women and cooking their remains, later released in 2023 to join the frontlines.
- Dmitry Malyshev: Sentenced for killing three men and reportedly frying one victim’s heart before being deployed in the conflict.
Continued Violence in Ukraine Amid Global Attention
These harsh realities unfold as Russia intensifies attacks against Ukraine’s capital. Recent barrages claimed at least 14 lives and injured dozens more, targeting residential blocks, schools, and critical infrastructure. Officials reported that 30 apartments were destroyed in a single attack, reflecting the relentless nature of the bombardment.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, authorities announced the successful interception of two Ukrainian drones targeting the city, briefly disrupting air travel and prompting heightened security measures.
The Human Cost of War
This grim narrative about cannibalism and criminal recruitment highlights the extreme desperation and moral erosion on the battlefield. It raises urgent questions about the ethics and desperation fueling this conflict, deeply affecting soldiers and civilians alike.
