‘Mom… I’m afraid’: Russian soldier’s texts to mother before he died.
Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Nations, Sergiy Kyslytsya, on Monday, claimed to have accessed an exchange of messages between a Russian soldier and his mother moments before the young man was killed in action.
During an emergency session of the UN General Assembly, Kyslytsya read out messages in which the Russian soldier said they were “bombing all of the cities” and “even targeting civilians”.
A video of Kyslytsya reading out the messages was tweeted by American cable and satellite television network C-SPAN, in which he can be seen holding up a screenshot of the soldier’s texts and urging the members of the assembly to visualize the magnitude of the tragedy.
The Russian soldier’s mother asks her son why it has been so long since he last responded and if she can send him a parcel. The soldier responded, “Mom, I’m in Ukraine. There is a 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 armoured vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass. They call us fascists. Mama, this is so hard.”

Excerpts from the text messages.
“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,” these were the final text messages between a Russian soldier and his mother before he died in the war.
After the mother asked for her son’s whereabouts, he revealed to her that he was not in a training but taking part in the invasion of Ukraine and was ‘afraid’.
“Why has it been so long since you responded? Are you really in training exercises?” the mother asked her son, adding that she intended to send him a package. To this the soldier tells his mother, in Russian, that he is no longer in Crimea doing training exercises.
Mama, I’m no longer in Crimea. I’m not in training sessions,” the soldier reportedly wrote, after his mother asked why it had been so long since he responded.
