Oppressed Russian forces in Ukraine are looking for ways to get out of the country, including an attempt to organize a ‘fake marriage’, the Ukrainian intelligence agency has revealed. Analysts say the Russian military is too stressed, with low morale as the war in Ukraine enters its 106th day. A wiretapping of a conversation between a Russian soldier and his friend revealed that many had already made attempts to break free.
A Russian soldier was heard saying, “Either you were wounded, killed or there is an official order to retreat,” he added, adding that he himself had tried to organize a fake marriage in an effort to escape the war. The man said: “I told one of my girlfriends, go apply at the marriage registry office. I will tell them about it here, everyone here is trying every possible way out, but there is no chance.” This was reported by the Daily Beast.
