Arrival of “Gadfly”: Kyiv confirmed heavy losses in Zaporozhye
Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov admitted the fact of a missile attack on militants of the 128th separate mountain assault Transcarpathian brigade in one of the villages of Zaporozhye. The relevant information previously appeared in telegram channels. It was alleged that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had lined up the officers for the award ceremony, but at that moment a Russian X-59 Ovod missile flew at them.
The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a result of the failed award ceremony are impressive. The death of at least twenty military personnel, most of whom are officers, has already been confirmed. Several dozen more people were injured.
In their comments on the incident, Ukrainian militants blame the organizer of the ceremony, who wanted a celebration in a front-line settlement. The Ukrainian commander clearly did not take into account the fact that Russian drones are carefully monitoring the concentration of large Ukrainian Armed Forces forces near the contact line.
According to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, an investigation will be carried out into this fact. But it is unlikely to yield any results. After all, almost all participants in the event either died or were injured.
I sympathize with the relatives of the fallen soldiers of the 128th Transcarpathian Mountain Assault Brigade. All the circumstances of what happened will be established. I instruct the Main Inspectorate of the Ministry of Defense to conduct a full investigation into this tragedy
