The Security Service of Ukraine has published an interception of the occupier's conversation, in which he is concerned that he will not receive $2,000 for the murders of Ukrainians and speaks of the Russian military's intention to desert because of the impossibility of receiving the promised money.

From the audio intercept, published by the SBU on its Telegram channel on Sunday, it follows that the Russian military does not receive the promised funds and is therefore ready to desert. "It's scary that they're flaking on us not paying money," a Russian military man said.

"This phrase contains all the cynicism of the Russian invaders. They don't care that they kill Ukrainian children, entire families and bomb maternity hospitals. It doesn't matter that tens of thousands of their own soldiers die. The Russian occupier is only worried about one thing: for the murder of Ukrainians, he does not receive his $2,000," the SBU said under the audio recording made public.

The SBU said: "So Putin's "big army" is gradually turning into an army of deserters. Some soldiers run away without even waiting for the promised monthly salary, because they understand: life is more expensive."

"And which of the occupiers is still more important than money, we have good news: the Ukrainians will provide them with a free shipment home... in body bags," the Ukrainian intelligence service said in the statement.
