Ukrinform
In the conversation intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence officers, the commander of the Russian army orders to shoot to kill a neighboring Russian unit.

According to Ukrinform, the audio recording was posted on Facebook by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

“Shoot the 55th, the commander's order is to shoot them,” the nervous commander says.

The DIU noted that the Russians' decision to “kill” their own was made because of disobedience and failure to obey orders.

“Because they are used to dismantle our points,” the Russian explains in the intercept.
