Russian authorities in Ukraines occupied city of Donetsk are tossing the bodies of their dead soldiers in a secret dump by the thousands and charging their loved ones money to find them.
Thats according to a new audio recording released by Ukraines Security Service on Tuesday, which is purportedly an intercepted telephone conversation between two Russians discussing how one of their missing friends was finally found.
In the two-and-a-half minute recording, an unidentified man tells his female relative that the fate of Innas brother is finally known after he went missing a month ago.
Its better that you dont hear this, the man says at first, reluctant to spill all the grim details.
After more urging, he finally explains that the unidentified dead mans sister went to Donetsk, and there, basically, roughly speaking, is a dump.
They just toss them there. And then later its easier to make as if they disappeared without a trace. Its easier for them to pretend they are just missing, and thats it, he said, noting that there are thousands.
Theres nowhere left to place them. Its a dump. Im telling you in plain Russiana dump. Its as tall as a person, he said, adding that the site is fenced off, sealed, they dont let anyone in.
According to him, the only reason local authorities at the dump site let the woman find her brother was because she paid good money.
After that, he said, they rearranged it until she found [the body.]
Its not a morgue, its a dump.
They are bringing [bodies] by the thousands, he said, calling it a shitshow.
No further details were provided by Ukrainian intelligence on the exact location of the makeshift morgue, and it was not immediately clear if the man heard in the audio was a Russian soldier himself, though Ukrainian authorities described him as an invader.
The disturbing intercept comes after Al Jazeera on Monday released footage of refrigerated train cars holding the unclaimed bodies of Russian troops killed in Ukraine. Inside, there appeared to be human-size bodies stacked on top of each other in white bags. Ukrainian authorities said Moscow has refused to take the bodies back home, apparently to keep the lid on the sky-high death toll.
While Russia has claimed only 1,300 of its troops have died in its special military operation to rescue Russian-speakers in Ukraine (by bombing predominantly Russian-speaking areas), Ukraines military has put the death toll at about 26,000.
