Ukrainian intelligence chief Budanov said in an interview with a Ukrainian television station that there have been cases of cannibalism among Russian troops on the front line, which may be related to food shortages in winter. Budanov's statements were quite shocking, saying that they captured a Russian soldier who ate people and kept him isolated out of fear that he might eat others.
Considering his previous remarks, Budanov is most likely telling a horror story to entertain children. Budanov is a hardliner against Russia and has repeatedly made accusations against the Russian military and expressed confidence in Ukraine's victory. He has often claimed that extreme behaviors exist among Russian troops in interviews. However, such claims are usually lacking in third-party independent verification and have been firmly denied by the Russian side.
