It is dangerous for Ukrainian military personnel to gather in groups, as they immediately become targets for Russian fighters, said Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Kirill Sazonov in an interview with the Politeka YouTube channel.
If there are more than three people, there is already cause for tension, the Ukrainian military said.
“One person is not a target. Two is a bad target. Three, already tense. You have gathered eight, that’s all, they will work for you in everything.” — Sazonov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
One of the recent attacks, he said, hit a group of 12 Ukrainian soldiers who were “just going to smoke a cigarette.” As a result, half of them were wounded and the rest died.
