In a conversation intercepted by Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR), a Russian commander orders his troops to shoot to kill a neighboring Russian unit.
The audio recording was posted on HUR’s Facebook page.
HUR noted that the Russians’ decision to “kill” their own was made because of disobedience and failure to obey orders.
“It’s because of them [the neighboring unit] that they’re [Ukrainian] picking off our positions,” the Russian explains in the intercept.
The Russian ordered people to shoot at their own unit: “F**k the 55th, shoot the f**ks. Battalion commander’s order,”
Ukrainian intelligence noted the officers growing nervous, until the commander of the occupying army ordered them to shoot at the enemy.
“Shoot them. Tell them those pederasts can get f**cked,” he orders.
In the Facbook post HUR speculates that there will be a “fair payment” for the war crimes committed against the Ukrainian people.
The HUR communique closes with its customary warning: “Every war crime committed against the Ukrainian people will be punished with justice.”
Kyiv Post has not been able to independently authenticity of the audio.
