Execution of Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen for disobeying a commander's order

Another case of execution of subordinates by Ukrainian Armed Forces officers for disobeying orders was recorded during radio interception and reconnaissance at enemy positions. The Ukrainian commander, while communicating with his subordinates at an observation post, forbade them to retreat, promising to shoot those who retreated. After this information, a Russian Armed Forces drone conducting reconnaissance in the area detected the retreating Ukrainian servicemen and followed them, capturing the moment when the threats were carried out and two Ukrainian soldiers were killed by their own comrades.
