According to media reports, Russian invaders attacked a training ground in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

Russian invaders launched a missile strike on a training ground where Ukrainian troops were stationed. This was reported by the commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatiy on the social network Facebook .

“The tragedy at the training ground is a terrible consequence of an enemy attack. War requires quick decisions, responsibility and new safety standards, otherwise we lose more than we have,” Drapatiy emphasized.

According to him, the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy is currently ongoing.

Drapatiy noted that he personally monitors every step in order to find out everything down to the second.

“I was waiting for the first data so as not to be unfounded, and now I must warn: everyone who made decisions that day, and everyone who did not make them on time, will all be held accountable. No one will hide behind explanations or formal reports,” assures Drapatiy.

The commander also suggests that they will try to hide the truth in the “fog of bureaucracy.”

“But I will not allow this. I have ordered an independent investigation with the participation of military counterintelligence so that not a single detail is left unattended, and the guilty parties are named and cannot “get away with it,” Drapatiy emphasized.

He assures that he will demand the strictest punishment.

“Those who continue to carry out their duties negligently and formally during the years of war, those who “drag” the military into outdated procedures, neglecting their safety, those who assert themselves not in battle, but by oppressing their subordinates – all of them disgrace the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” he added.

In his opinion, this situation is evidence of decisions that were made at the wrong time and lessons that were not learned.

“I call upon all generals, officers, sergeants and soldiers of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine again and again: we must get rid of formalism, bureaucracy and frivolity. Each of us is responsible for the lives of our brothers-in-arms. Both in battle and in the rear,” Drapatiy emphasized.

According to media reports, Russian invaders have struck a test site in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Suspilne , citing its sources, writes that a large number of people were wounded in one of the Dnipropetrovsk regional hospitals as a result of the strike on the test site.

update:

“On March 1, one of the units of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine became the target of an enemy missile strike. Unfortunately, there are dead and wounded. The command and personnel of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine express deep condolences to the relatives and friends of the servicemen who died as a result of this missile strike,” the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a statement.
