Details: The occupier, stationed in Kharkiv Oblast, says in a panic that he would like to break a bone: "I’ve decided! I change shift at 4, and somehow I'm going to break my leg on the stairs. I can't do this, Dad, I'm shaking. It's so scary, I can't f**cking stay here any longer."

Later, the occupier called home again and said that he hadn’t been able to break anything. Then his father decided to give him some "valuable" advice: "When we were young, this is what the boys used to do: wrap a towel or rag around your arm, make it wet, then go to a corner and hit the corner with your arm. And it doesn't hurt so much, and the bone breaks."

Previously: As of 20 July, Russia has lost 38,750 soldiers, 1,700 tanks, 3,905 anti-aircraft missiles and 703 drones in the course of its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.
