A Russian soldier died after killing a comrade and eating his corpse in an attempt to survive during the wartime crisis, reported the Kyiv Post.

The incident came to light after a phone call between two Russian soldiers discussing the cannibalism was allegedly tapped by Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence.

According to the New York Post, one of them was heard saying, “Brelok f***ing ate him, f*** me… nobody went anywhere. Brelok took him out and then ate him for f\*\*\*ing two weeks."

“No f***ing way… Holy shit… F*** my bald skull. Was Brelok really found as a 200?" the second soldier replied. “Found as a 200" is slang from the Soviet era, meaning a soldier killed in action.

“Yeah, they say he was a 200. He ate his comrade. So yeah… something to think about. I was shocked myself," the caller concluded, according to the outlet.

Meanwhile, with the tension between Russia and Ukraine continuing, Russian troops on Saturday captured the small settlement of Zaporizhzhya in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, Russian state news agency TASS reported.

The small village of Zaporizhzhya, once home to around 200 residents before the war, lies close to the strategic city of Pokrovsk- a vital transport hub in eastern Ukraine that has witnessed some of the most intense fighting in recent months.

On Friday, Russian drones slammed into two Ukrainian cities, killing at least one person in nighttime attacks. Moscow targeted the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa and the northeastern city of Kharkiv in the overnight assault.

The barrage of more than 20 drones injured almost two dozen civilians, including girls aged 17 and 12, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

“Russia continues its tactics of targeted terror against our people," Zelenskyy said on messaging app Telegram, urging the United States and the European Union to crank up economic pressure on Russia.
