Russian troops heard being ordered to ‘slay’ civilians: ‘F–king kill them all!’

Intercepted Russian radio messages caught weary troops complaining about being vastly outnumbered — and being ordered to “f–king kill” civilians, according to Ukraine intelligence.

“Civilians, everyone, slay them all!” a Russian commander barked at his underlings during the brutal assault on Mariupol, according to a clip released Wednesday by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU).

According to the intelligence service’s own translation, the intercepted audio started with a soldier alerting his boss to the fact that a car driving by was full of people dressed like civilians.

“F–king kill them all, for f–k’s sake!” the apparent boss snaps, according to the SSU’s translation.

This intercepted comm was in the clear using a cell phone.

A sardonic "heh".

BBC World New (tee vee) yesterday; they mention the killings, "motive is unknown", then mention in passing that this is the latest in a rash of attacks in recent weeks in Israel... with not a word mentioned regarding, attacks by whom.   (In this regard, I was almost surprised that the BBC online editions linked to above, says "Palestinian".)
