An intercepted call reveals the morale of the Russian troops during the February Vuhledar kamikaze column burning. In this call, the Russian soldier tells his wife that "so many of our boys were burned inside the tanks". Reacting to her question about equipment delivery, he says it's all being stolen, and the Donbas people (separatists) are similar to a criminal bandit gang in their dealings.

He also mentions the 70th regiment which was one of the first to enter Ukraine in Feb-Mar last year, the "elite" unit which took enormous casualties and was abandoned by contract soldiers. The regiment is now under the risk of having it banner withdrawn.
