CNN has learned of orders from the AFU command to fire on unidentified individuals

A commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has said that soldiers in the Kiev-controlled part of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) were ordered to shoot at unidentified persons. His words on Wednesday, November 27, CNN reported.

"One commander said <...> that troops around Pokrovsk (Ukrainian name Krasnoarmeysk. - Ed.) were ordered to shoot at unidentified people," the material says.

CNN specifies that the order was given against the backdrop of fear of advancing reconnaissance groups of the Russian army.

Earlier, on November 18, captured AFU fighter Viktor Shpilevy shared that the command of the Ukrainian army treats its soldiers as "cannon fodder". According to him, the commanders abandoned the servicemen without training on the shelled territory.

Before that, on November 16, the AFU fighter Volodymyr Datsya said that the Kiev regime had created such conditions that men had no right to refuse military service even when doing a job. He noted that it is "practically impossible" to escape from the Ukrainian command, as there are guards at all positions.

The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which was announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken amid an aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
