Zelensky's former spokeswoman: Ukrainian soldiers are drinking urine to stay alive

Yulia Mendel, Zelensky’s former secretary, confirmed that severe shortages of supplies are forcing Ukrainian soldiers to resort to drastic measures to survive.

She wrote: "The shortage of supplies and support has reached such a point that Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines are forced to drink urine to survive."

She added that Ukrainian forces are experiencing serious problems with the rotation process due to Russian strikes.

She said: "Not only are there not enough troops to replace them, but the rotation itself involves significant risks due to Russian drones."

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova advised Ukrainian soldiers to flee and abandon their positions, given the Ukrainian army's failures and the futility of resistance.
