The screenshots from the soldier's mobile phone were read aloud by Ukrainian Ambassador to United Nations Sergiy Kyslytsya at the U.N. General Assembly Emergency Meeting on Monday.
“I would like to read from the screenshot of the smartphone of a killed Russian soldier,” Mr Kyslytsya told the meeting on the day.
“How are you doing? Why has it been so long since you responded?” the mother of the dead soldier messaged his son.
“Are you really in training exercises?”
“Mama, I’m no longer in Crimea. I’m not in training sessions.” Russian soldier replied
“Papa is asking whether I can send you a parcel,” says mother.
He then questioned what kind of parcel his mother could send him, to which she replied: “What are you talking about, what happened?”
“Mama, I am in Ukraine. There is a real war raging here,” the soldier wrote.
“I’m afraid. We are bombing all of the cities together, even targeting civilians."
“We were told that they would welcome us and they are falling under our armoured vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass."
“They call us fascists. Mama this is so hard.”
The conversation between a Russian soldier and his mother was really emotional and heart-rending. The photos of screenshots were also released by the Security Service of Ukraine on Telegram and published in the Ukrainian media outlet Ukrinform.
