Ukrainian Intel: Russian Troops Resort to Cannibalism

0:00On April 27, Ukrainian intelligence dropped a bombshell, claiming Russian frontline troops have turned to cannibalism amid severe starvation. They say they've got proof from at least five incidents where soldiers ate their own comrades, pulled from intercepted telegram chats and graphic, images shared by Russian officers themselves. Cyber experts found this material on telegram channels used for battlefield updates. One standout case from November in the Donetsk region involved a soldier called Kromoy, who allegedly killed two buddies, cut off a leg, and tried to. Eat it, using a meat grinder and a basement near Mernarod. Offices in the chats were horrified, with one asking if troops weren't getting fed, and another warning that everyone was on starvation rations, and might start eating each other. A brigade chief even banned cannibalism outright in a message alongside no booze or drugs. Russian checks back the images, AI tools showed no fakes, and a conflict surgeon confirmed the wounds look like knife cuts, not blasts.

1:03Russia calls it all, Ukrainian propaganda, but past reports match up, like expired rations from years ago, and troops looting for food. These isolated cases tie into harsh winter supply breakdowns, urban fights cutting routes, and thousands of Russians surrendering over hunger. As the war drags, frontline desperation keeps testing limits on both sides.
