The serviceman, who had his face covered, said: “The circumstance is extremely trying.
I’m hoping you’ll hear this and figure out a way to let us out.
He said: “We have been left, abandoned.”
He added: “I am now in Kherson.
In an effort to retake the southern city of Kherson, Ukraine blew up a bridge on July 27, cutting off his brigade.
I sincerely hope Shoigu hears me and can find a way for us to escape.
For more than a week, the Russian unit has been imprisoned on the western bank of the river.
