Details: This is evidenced by new telephone conversations between the invaders which were intercepted by the special services.

On the released recording, the occupier says that his regiment has suffered many losses and that the soldiers had broken the only tank which remained intact to avoid going to the front.

The young invader explained that out of the ten tanks his unit had at the beginning of the war, only one tank was left - and they had broken it on purpose.

"Well, thank God for that! Take it apart, hand it over for scrap metal, and stay safe", his father advises him.

Background: According to the latest data from the General Staff, Ukrainian defenders have destroyed more than a thousand enemy tanks.
