An intercepted call released by Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate (HUR) captured Russian soldiers discussing an alleged case of cannibalism within their own ranks.
According to the call, a serviceman with the call sign “Brelok” is said to have killed his fellow soldier “Foma” – and then lived off his former comrade’s remains for two weeks.
“No one ran anywhere,” the first speaker says. “Brelok f**ing took him out, and then ate him for two weeks.”
The second soldier, clearly stunned, responds: “No f**ing way… holy sh*t… fu*k my bald skull. Was Brelok really found as a 200?” 200 is Soviet-era military slang used in today’s Russian army to refer to a soldier killed in action.
The first speaker confirms: “Yeah, they say he was a 200. He ate his comrade. So yeah… something to think about. I was shocked myself.”
If true, the incident underscores the growing collapse of morale, discipline, and basic survival conditions inside Russian units on the front lines.
Ukrainian intelligence agencies have repeatedly intercepted calls that highlight extreme psychological stress, infighting, and disregard for human life among Russian troops. Previous recordings released by HUR and its “I Want to Live” project have documented summary executions, looting, and soldiers begging to surrender.
Earlier last year, Kyiv Post interviewed “Maria” who works as one of Ukrainian intelligence’s professional eavesdroppers and spoke about the shocking things she hears.
Russia regularly dismisses the content of intercepted calls published by Ukraine, saying they are fake, a claim Kyiv Post put to Maria. She said: “They are all are real even though they might seem insane. Sometimes I can’t believe the words I’m hearing myself, but we have what we have.”
