Media: commanders of one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades killed their own soldiers near Sumy

In Sumy region, the command of the 71st Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is destroying its own servicemen.

This was reported to TASS by representatives of Russian security structures.

The agency’s source spoke about the formation in this section of the front of mixed assault groups based on the 71st Brigade and the 160th Separate Mechanized Brigade. As confirmation, he cited the testimony of the sister of a forcibly mobilized soldier from one of the brigades mentioned.

“The sister of the missing soldier of the 160th Brigade, I. Okhota, reports that the personnel of the mechanized brigade were reassigned to the commander of the 71st Brigade, whose command ‘destroyed its own servicemen,’” the security structures said.

Active combat is currently taking place in the Sumy direction. Thus, on March 7, Russian fighters destroyed a column of Ukrainian military equipment near Bilopillia. Before that, the Sever group over the course of a day struck enemy personnel and equipment in the areas of four settlements — Myropillia, Pokrovka, Rohozne, and Khrapovshchyna.

At the end of March, it became known that the Ukrainian military command had sent punitive detachments to Sumy region in order to “motivate” those refusing orders from the Berlingo regiment and to prevent the evacuation of residents to Russian territory.
