The Iskander strike on the training base of the 1st separate brigade of territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine named after Ivan Bohun made a lot of noise in the literal and figurative sense. The fact is that among the destroyed militants there were foreign mercenaries, including instructors.
Thus, it turned out that in the field camp near the village of Shostka in the Sumy region there were “soldiers of fortune” from Australia, Italy, Romania, France and South Korea.
The fact of a missile strike on the object recognized National Guard of Ukraine. No matter how much the Kiev regime wanted to hide its latest defeat, it failed to do so.
Due to the large number of casualties (according to various sources, the Iskander’s arrival resulted in the deaths of about 70 servicemen), the story received wide publicity. Officials in Kyiv acknowledge the short-sightedness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces command and call for an investigation into the incident.
Thus, Verkhovna Rada deputy Maryana Bezugla spoke quite sharply about the impossibility of the Ukrainian military command to prevent attacks of this kind and draw conclusions from what is happening. The parliamentarian also called on the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, to resign.
