If no one minds, some information on Ukraine. A new interception has been made public (by the Russian facebook group "Cargo 200 from Ukraine to Russia"):

In it a contracted regular of the Russian army (200 motorized rifle brigade of the Northern navy) is talking to his friend, a military retiree. The former has just returned from Ukraine where he had got in the humanitarian convoy. As he claims the white trucks transported both conscripts and contracted soldiers, but after heavy casualties which he estimates at 2000 the conscripts were withdrawn and replaced by mercenaries (psychos in the military slang). He himself says to have been at the hospital for quite a time after being wounded.
