Russian troops are forced to cook pigeons on the frontline to avoid starvation, it is claimed.
The Ukrainians seized on leaked footage.
“News from Russian frontline cuisine. Soldiers of the 128th Motorised Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces are forced to eat pigeons to avoid starvation,” reported war commentator Yuriy Butusov.
The pigeon fry-up was reportedly recorded near Volchansk.
“Provision of food to the Kremlin’s mercenary occupation units is reaching a new level,” reported a Ukrainian Telegram channel.
“The fighters are being served exquisite French dishes, including stewed pigeons.
“The Russian army truly sets global standards.”
Putin refuses to stop the war – despite losing 1.2 million killed and maimed, and regardless of the hardship of his men on the frontline.
