Sergiy Kyslytsya, Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations, has revealed the communication between a mother and her Russian soldier son shortly before his death.

While speaking to the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, Kyslytsya held up a piece of paper he said was a screenshot of the last conversation between the duo and read from it.

“Alyosha, how are you doing? Why has it been so long since you responded? Are you really in training exercises?” Kyslytsya began with the words of the soldier’s mother.

“Mama, I’m no longer in Crimea. I’m not in training sessions.”

“Where are you then? Papa is asking whether I can send you a parcel.”

“What kind of parcel, mama, can you send me?”

“What are you talking about, what happened?”

“Mama, I’m in Ukraine. There is a real war raging here. I’m 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 armoured vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass. They call us fascists. Mama, this is so hard.”

Few moments after the conversation, Kyslytsya said, the soldier died.

“If you want to just visualise the magnitude of the tragedy, you have to imagine next to you, next to every nameplate of every single country in the General Assembly, more than 30 souls of killed Russian soldiers already,” said Kyslytsya.

“Next to every name of every single country in this assembly, 30-plus killed Russian soldiers. Hundreds of killed Ukrainians, dozens of killed children, and it goes on and on and on.”
