The Russian attack killed at least 20 Ukrainian soldiers.

Russian invaders released a video of an Iskander attack on the awarding ceremony for officers of the 128th mountain assault brigade in the Transcarpathian region.

The video appeared in racist public pages. The footage shows that the location was recorded by a drone, which transmitted the coordinates for the missile strike. 

As a result of the cynical attack, at least 20 Ukrainian soldiers were killed. An investigation into the tragedy has begun in Ukraine.
