In Russia, soldiers’ deaths are being attributed to the war

Last year, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense released an intercepted conversation between two Russians.

An ambulance worker and a local resident shared details of an incident involving the death of a Russian soldier.

According to them, the serviceman decided to ride a moped but got into an accident and died. Despite the fact that his death was caused by a traffic accident, he was reportedly going to be buried as a war casualty.
