Russia is attacking its neighbor in the Ukraine conflict.

A Russian soldier reportedly texted his mother shortly before he died.

Kyiv/Munich - Since Russia invaded Ukraine, events have escalated.

Peace negotiations on Monday (March 1) were unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, fighting continued around Kyiv and Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv.

On Tuesday (March 2) in Kharkiv there was apparently a violent explosion after a Russian attack.

For the sixth day in a row, Ukrainians are defending their country.

Meanwhile, there are reports of a Russian soldier who apparently did not want to go to war.

Ukraine conflict: SMS allegedly from Russian soldier to his mother - "Bombing all these cities"

Sergiy Kyslytsya, the Ukrainian ambassador, read a text message to the UN.

This allegedly comes from a killed Russian soldier whose cell phone is said to have been found.

This could not be independently confirmed.

"How are you?

Why didn't you answer for so long?

Are you really in operational exercises?”, are supposed to be the apparently concerned questions that the mother is said to have sent to the soldier in the Ukraine conflict.

"Mom, I'm in Ukraine," the Russian soldier reportedly replied.

War was raging, he was afraid.

"We're bombing all these cities, even targeting civilians."

"They call us fascists": Russian soldier apparently tells mother about the Ukraine conflict - then he dies

He further writes that the soldiers from Russia were told that the Ukrainians would welcome them.

According to the chat history, however, the reality is different.

“They call us fascists.

Mom, it's so hard.” Shortly afterwards, the Ukrainian ambassador Kyslytsya reported, the Russian soldier was killed.

A screenshot of the alleged chat history that Kyslytsya showed could not be verified either.

The Ukraine war rages on.

Ukraine President Zelenskyy also addresses the European Parliament.

But Russia also cites other allegations.
