"It’s a f**king mess, yep, I’ve already heard about that. Look, Roma, what’s the food like at your end? What’re the conditions like?"

"Don’t even f**king ask. Water - two people get one and a half bottles a day, for f**k’s sake." 

"That’s f**ked up. And f**k-all to eat, right?"

"Yep." 

"I can hear shooting where you are."

"They’re f**king pummelling us non-stop – it’s a f**king mortar attack."

"Is that your guys shooting?"

"No, the Ukrops [Ukrainians – ed.]. We’re 3½ f**king kilometres away. We’re on the front line. They’re pounding us so f**king hard the blades are flying off."

"What blades?"

"Blades from the shells. They get all f**king bent - like, into screws."

...

"Of course. Obviously! Our commander and his deputy are Cargo 300 [wounded – ed.] and the guy next to us is Cargo 200 [dead]."

"We got ‘musicians’ here with us. The ‘musicians’ are ahead of us [a nickname for Wagner Group mercenaries – ed.]."

"So they have positions in front of you as well?"

"Oh. F**k. It’s hell there, Misha. I don’t want to talk about it… It's all f**ked up. It's basically a meat grinder."
