These actions must not go unpunished, and the enemy must bear full responsibility. Russia is a terrorist country that violates all the rules and customs of war. The international community should not turn a blind eye to such crimes! Lubnets noted.
What preceded it
Deepstate analysts, citing sources from the 1st OTBr, note that Russian troops shot nine Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region.
According to their data, it happened on October 10 in the area of the settlement Zeleny Shlyah. According to preliminary data, Ukrainian drone operators and allies "came to the positions with the opinion that they were in the relative rear, but they were already forced to come into contact with the enemy and fire back."
As DeepState points out, the amount of white ammunition is limited, so the Ukrainian fighters were forced to surrender.
