Chat history between Russian soldier and his mother

Why has it been so long since you responded?

Are you really into training exercises? Mom, I am no longer in Crimea.

I am not in training sessions. Where are you then?

Papa is asking whether I can send you a parcel. What kind of a parcel Mama can you send me?

I just want to hang myself now. What are you talking about?

What happened? Mom, I'm in Ukraine. There is real war raging here. I am afraid. We are bombing all of the cities, together. Even targeting civilians. We were told that they would welcome us and they are falling under our armored vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass. They call us fascists. Mom, this is so hard.
