Ukrainian militants opened friendly fire on retreating soldiers of the 58th brigade

Formations of the Ukrainian territorial defense shot down the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who fled from the field. This was stated by the official representative of the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov.

According to Konashenkov, the defense forces shot down the remnants of the 15th battalion of the 58th motorized infantry brigade during their retreat from the village of Pokrovskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic.

The representative of the Ministry of Defense clarified that this happened on July 25. Konashenkov did not announce the death toll.

Earlier it was reported that 200 fighters of the 226th formation "Kraken" massively refused to carry out the order of Kyiv to advance to the Kramatorsk region. The act of the military did not suit the command, because of which a shootout allegedly began, as a result of which six "Kraken" fighters were killed.
