Ukrainian media and Russian military bloggers say more than 20 Ukrainian soldiers were killed at Friday's award ceremony near the southern frontlines.
Ukraine's military has not yet given casualty figures of what it says was a "tragedy" in the Zaporizhzhia region.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the incident "could have been avoided".
"Criminal proceedings have been initiated," the Ukrainian leader added in a post on social media on Sunday.
"Every soldier in the combat zone - in the enemy's line of fire and aerial reconnaissance - knows how to behave in the open, how to ensure safety."

Looks like the Ukrainian leadership is starting to make even bigger, stupider mistakes.

If they admit to 20, it was 60.

A mistake the Russians have made many times.
Looks like you’re a cheerleader for Russia and Hamas.
Too bad.

The green recruits pulled off the street and sent to the front probably had all their cell phones turned on, taking videos to post on social media.

Nobody cares anymore if you falsely call them hamas lovers
Nobody cares anymore if you falsely call them Russian bots
So go ahead and call me a transphobe, because yes I hate you transsexuals

Neither Russia nor Ukraine can win this war in the traditional sense, they can only bloody and batter continuously until both collapse of exhaustion.
Like two tired boxers in the ring, neither of which will yield to fall down first.

Nobody cares about Ukraine OR Russia anymore. As far as I can tell, there are no good guys at the leadership level, but I do feel for the soldiers on both sides who are doing the dying.

It’s worse
Some jackass higher-up summoned the unit to come to an award ceremony
On the frontline
Guys killed were battle experienced and receiving recognition
