Russian troops are being forced to eat dogs because of food shortages, Ukraine's security service has claimed.
The SBU, Kyiv's security and intelligence agency, released a text message exchange purportedly between two Russian soldiers, in which a serviceman stationed in the occupied parts of the Kherson region, close to Crimea, told his friend that he and other troops had eaten a Yorkshire terrier.
"It's all f*****. [Ukrainians] are f****** beating us like kids. We eat dogs, there's no food. Today we ate a Yorkie. A Yorkshire terrier," the soldier was quoted as saying by the SBU.
Responding to this message, the other serviceman replied: "Oh heck. Although that's an understatement."
The Ukrainian agency said it had intercepted the conversation. "This is evidenced by the correspondence of the Russian aggressor, which was intercepted by the SBU," it added.
The soldier also texted that the Russian army had no logistics and "simply can't deliver" rations, according to the security service.
The SBU added in a statement: "This contrasts sharply with the 'victorious' picture broadcast on Russian television. So, to his friend's surprised remark that their mass media 'only draw victories,' he answers: 'Let them come here and draw.'"
In late March, the SBU made a similar allegation, claiming that it had tapped a phone call in which Russian soldiers discussed eating dog meat instead of their ration packs.
Troops were "sick" of the ready-to-eat rations they had been given, a soldier is said to have told his family. "Are you eating OK at least?" he is asked.
The serviceman replied: "Not too bad. We had alabay [a sheepdog breed found in Central Asia] yesterday. We wanted some meat."
This claim too has not been independently verified. Newsweek has contacted Russia's foreign ministry for comment.

Amazing that a rag-tag army, fed on Yorkshire Terriers,
and using ancient equipment,
...is defeating Ukraine so badly that they needed $40 billion in aid,
untold billions in military weapons...
... and the US is sending special forces to “protect the embassy.”
Now, Ukraine has had to bring out it’s Elite Unicorn Battalion to prance Russia into submission.
Truly amazing to watch.
Is that sign real? Because WOW, I’d eat there just to appreciate the audacity*. That sure puts the NASTY in HUNAN NASTY.
(*Unless I found it was run by White folk. Self-deprecation can be hysterical, but putting down someone ELSE isn’t.)
>> Did the Ghost of Kiev interdict the supply trains, Newsweek? <<
Is a disruption in supply trains that unthinkable? Russia thought it would establish a front in the Southwest of Ukraine. It failed to do. There’s a lot of marginally held real estate between Luhansk and Kherson that I’d hate to run a train through. And if you think the Ukrainians have destroyed a lot of tanks, you should see what they’ve done to other combat vehicles.
Don’t believe it any of this.
I heard of a “wag the dog” war but not a “eat the dog” war.
” it is strange that a country as big as Russia would not be providing their troops with foods.
The Russians are fundamentally incompetent. That is why the Ukraine just might win the war.
Will no one protect the dignity of the Wiener Dogs? (sobbing)
When a title contains “Ukraine says”, “Russia says”, “Putin says”, “ Zelensky says”, or something similar, be sure your propaganda detection meter is working properly.
Just think, it was only some 60+ years ago, where the Russians started the Space Race with their satelite
Sputnik 1 orbiting the earth. The continued prominence of any country is never guaranteed.
Bingo.
I thought the Ghost of Kiev, after, he singlehandedly, shot down every Russian MIG in 15 minutes, then went on to kill all the Russian dogs. You sure it’s not cats the Russian troops are eating.
Did they get fries with that? Supersized since it was only a little Yorkie?
“That being said, it is strange that a country as big as Russia would not be providing their troops with foods.
Unexpectedly careless.”
Not if you consider the corruption that is a way of life in most of the former Soviet States, including Ukraine.
An oligarch buys his position either outright or with the promise of kickbacks. His primary concerns are;
Kickbacks and bribes. Gotta make good on the 10% for the Big Guy in his area. Especially in the beginning.
His own profits. An oligarch needs his palaces, mega yachts, private planes, high end mistresses. Not enough to have the stroke you have to show it. The more bling you show the more you are respected.
Family and fellow oligarchs. The successful oligarch knows how to build and maintain his base of support. Don’t take care of yourself by having a solid base of support and you either go to prison or sleep with the fish.
That is the short list but you notice that actually doing the job you bought isn’t on the list. No one expects you to actually be efficient at producing anything but profits.
Say you bought the position to supply the military with rations for use in the field. You look at the inventory and determine you have enough rations to feed the military for one year. You confidently report that all is well for a one year operation. Everyone is happy. Nevermind that the rations are 20 years out of date. Everyone has made money and nothing else matters.
Does anybody believe anything that comes out of Ukraine?
Or for that matter, Russia or the White House?
Newsweak propaganda can rival daily Mail....
your troll team will post anything.have u no shame?
A sure sign that they are receiving military assistance from North Korea.
What about eating all their 200s?
Would you eat your Yorkie? Make him into a delicious stroganoff, like these desperate Roozkies are doing?
I’m very skeptical. Typical of war propaganda.
