The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) has released a new intercepted call featuring a fatally wounded Russian soldier on the battlefield. In the recording, published by HUR, the Russian serviceman, unable to provide himself with basic first aid, essentially delivers a deathbed confession.
“Birds are flying, so many of them. I’m losing blood, my head is spinning. I laid down, I’m lying under a tree,” he tells the person on the other end of the line.

When urged to stop the bleeding, the soldier replies: “My calf is torn off — you can’t stop it like that. Using a tourniquet only makes it worse.” He is then advised: “Give yourself aid, I’m telling you again — stop the bleeding. Try to stay in touch. Most importantly, wait for instructions.”
According to HUR, the wounded soldier ignored basic self-aid protocols, which ultimately led to his death. The agency also notes that the conversation reflects a romanticization of death — an illusion of heroism sharply contrasted by the soldier’s helplessness.
HUR does not specify what happened next or provide further details but reminds: “Every war crime committed against the Ukrainian people will be justly punished.”
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.”
