Russians complain about losses due to 'friendly fire' – Ukrainian Intelligence

On the Oleksandrivka sector of the front, a group of Russian soldiers that included foreign mercenaries suffered losses due to friendly fire.

According to Ukrinform, this is evidenced by an intercepted conversation published by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defense Ministry, Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

In the intercepted conversation obtained by intelligence officers, a Russian serviceman with the callsign "Sukhoy" complains that as a result of friendly fire, one member of his group was killed before reaching the position, while another was wounded. In response, he is told that such incidents sometimes happen and are caused by mistakes on both sides.

The intelligence agency noted that the intercepted conversation illustrates the low level of coordination among Russian units in that section of the front.

As Ukrinform previously reported, intelligence officers intercepted a conversation about losses in the Russian army on the Orikhiv sector caused by mass alcohol poisoning among troops.
