Ukrainian Commander Threatened Retreating Soldiers With Death - Radio Intercept

DONETSK (Sputnik) - A Ukrainian commander has threatened a group of soldiers who had retreated from positions in the Zaporozhye Region with death, according to a radio intercept obtained by Sputnik.

According to the radio intercept, the commander said that Ukrainian soldiers were supposed to follow orders. In response, a soldier explains that Russian military personnel had outflanked them and moved into positions from a flank, from which fellow Ukrainian soldiers had already retreated.

"They came in from behind. You should have 360-degree awareness, you have two people on duty, three resting... And now you're sitting there whining. You're all going to die, I am telling you straight," the commander said.

The radio intercept also revealed the commander urging the soldiers not to retreat but to engage in battle.
