Russian reconnaissance drone filmed a group of Ukrainian of retreating Ukrainian servicemen being destroyed by their own comrades. The footage likely shows the operation of one of numerous barrier squads on the Ukrainian military positions.
The video shows Russian servicemen entering Ukrainian trenches for the mop up operation. At the same time, Ukrainian servicemen, who were ordered to hold control of the position, are seen retreating to another line of Ukrainian trenches, where they were welcomed by their brothers in arms. The barrier squad is seen intentionally firing at the retreating servicemen, destroying them with grenades.
The group of servicemen deployed on the second line of trenches could be mistaken and could open a friendly fire; but they had enough time to see the insignias of the retreating Ukrainian group and they even fired at the last Ukrainian serviceman who survived and attempted to retreat. Russian sources which shared the video claimed that it shows the operation of a barrier squad. Numerous testimonies of Ukrainian servicemen and evidences from the front confirm that the barrier squads are deployed in various directions.
At the end, the members of the barrier squad were destroyed by Russian UAV.
