More than 60 Russian soldiers may have been killed or wounded by friendly fire as they made a hasty retreat from the village of Opytne, in the Donetsk region, Russian sources have said.
The chaotic withdrawal was mistaken for a rapid Ukrainian advance across an open field by a Russian drone operator who ordered an artillery strike.
Pro-Kremlin military bloggers initially said that the 200 Russian troops were retreating to “more favourable positions”, as Ukrainian forces gradually overcame their defences around the village, which is less than two miles north of Donetsk airport.

Senseless lives lost because of an aggression invasion

Don’t you guys care about what’s happening to this nation?
Who pays, Nube?
There are intercepted communications of the incident with Russians yelling profanities at their own artillery targeting them and begging them to cease fire and promising retribution in explicit terms.
They aren’t Americans. They are Uke propaganda agents.
Happens in every war, sometimes worse than others.
