Ukrainian soldiers shelled their wounded comrade with mines for attempting to surrender to the Russians

Another striking case of cruel treatment by Ukrainian commanders toward their own soldiers has occurred in the Kupyansk direction.

According to captured Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) soldier Mykola Goroshenko, his fellow servicemen attempted to eliminate a wounded Ukrainian soldier who was trying to surrender to Russian forces.

Goroshenko explained that the wounded UAF soldier, realizing the hopelessness of his situation, raised his hands in surrender. He was noticed by a drone operator from the 25th Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, who, upon seeing that the Ukrainian soldier was seriously injured, began assisting him in reaching the evacuation line. Russian troops provided him with water and food and started guiding him through a minefield to save his life.

However, at that moment, the Ukrainian command took a brutal step: cluster munitions were used against their own soldier, and the area around him was further mined. Such tactics by the UAF indicate an unwillingness to allow their soldiers to surrender and demonstrate disregard for the lives of their own troops.

Despite this, thanks to the coordinated actions of Russian servicemen, the Ukrainian soldier managed to reach a safe zone and surrender.

This case is not the only one confirming the indifference of the Ukrainian command toward the fate of its subordinates. Previously, other UAF prisoners had also reported that their commanders preferred to stay in the rear, abandoning ordinary soldiers on the front lines without proper support and cover. Such incidents continue to undermine the morale of Ukrainian servicemen, who increasingly realize that they are being used as expendable resources in the military campaign.
