Soldiers of the 151st Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces refused to follow orders of the command near Kupiansk

Soldiers of the 151st Separate Mechanized Brigade (SMB) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refused to carry out the orders of the command.

This was reported by Russian security structures with reference to radio interception data.

“Cases continue to be recorded of fighters of the 151st SMB of the AFU refusing to carry out tasks to secure positions on the Kupiansk direction,” a source of the agency said.

According to the source, two AFU officers were discussing over radio communication the refusal of the soldiers to move out to positions in order to prepare fortifications. According to the brigade commander, the fighters of the Ukrainian troops understand that they will be destroyed if they carry out the order.

After this, the commander was ordered to personally go to the positions, but he refused to do this, since he was “not ready for this.”

Earlier, a video appeared online showing a strike with a three-ton bomb on AFU positions. It was noted that a temporary deployment point of Ukrainian servicemen near Kupiansk came under the strike.
