The text is only as good as it is encrypted. In World War II the Germans had the Enigma machine. And as we know today, it wasn't completely leak-proof. Encrypted communication is still standard today, even though we see many Chinese Baofeng radios among the Russian ground troops, probably to compensate for the lack of troop radios.
Encryption is done between command posts from battalion upwards. So this is a Russian Enigma: relatively early in the war it fell into the hands of Ukrainian troops near Kijovo. The Russian type designation would be M-211 Connectivity Machine. The magic is not the device itself, but the codes for encryption that should be changed daily. So: a nice collector's item from Ukraine.
The other side: Starlink set, found by Russians in Lyman. "Apparently some of them were also found in Mariupol, but the soldiers do not talk about them to prevent them from being taken away by the command," the Russians with Attitude joke.
