Russian troops were heard threatening to eat their fellow soldiers in a scary audio recording that was intercepted. The soldiers said they are already “sharpening their knives.” Ukrainian officials captured this conversation between soldiers in the Zaporizhzhia region, showing just how desperate President Vladimir Putin’s forces have become.
According to The Sun, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, called the GUR, released the disturbing recording. A male voice describes the terrible situation, saying “We’ll eat each other, it’s all f***ed up here.” He adds to the frightening threat by stating “We’re already looking for someone younger. I’ve sharpened my knives. I have a lot of knives.”
The soldier made it obvious he didn’t care about what would happen because of his threat. “I don’t give a f*** who I have to cut up,” he said. “I just want to eat. F*** everyone else.” This shocking audio comes as President Putin’s soldiers are reportedly starving because not enough food is being delivered to the frontline.
Putin’s troops face extreme hunger as supplies fail to reach the frontline
The GUR explained that the harsh winter weather is making it very difficult to move supplies across occupied Ukrainian territory as temperatures drop. This mix of brutal cold and failed supply deliveries is clearly causing horrible problems.
The GUR gave a specific warning, saying that because of the food shortages, “the occupiers are sharpening their knives and preparing to eat their younger comrades.” Kyiv has even offered starving Russian soldiers a way out.

Ukraine’s intelligence agency reminded Russian troops that prisoners of war in Ukraine get fed three times a day. Russian soldiers can safely surrender on the battlefield using the “I Want to Live” project bot.
This isn’t the first time cannibalism has come up during this war. Kyiv’s spy agency said that cannibalism is becoming “a common practice among Russian soldiers.” They mentioned an incident from June when a soldier from the 68th Motor Rifle Division was reportedly eating his “comrade” for two weeks. This disturbing trend shows Russia’s brutal approach to the ongoing conflict continues into modern warfare.
Russian ‘liberators’ in all their glory:

It’s also been reported that known cannibal killers have been allowed to join Putin’s forces. Yegor Komarov, who was arrested after a headless body fell out of his car, admitted to killing and eating part of his victim. Instead of staying in prison, Komarov was reportedly sent to serve with the Wagner Group of mercenaries. Many prisoners, including murderers and sex offenders, were told they could go free after the war if they survived fighting on the frontlines.
The brutal conflict continues with slow progress on peace talks. Eight people were killed and 27 were wounded in a recent Russian missile strike on Ukrainian port facilities. There’s been talk of a meeting between Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow, with US and European officials reportedly approving the idea. However, the Kremlin has denied that three-way talks are being planned, despite warnings about Trump’s approach risking conflict.
