A serviceman from the 3rd Combined Arms Army of the «Southern» military grouping told RIA Novosti that a Ukrainian drone inadvertently led Ukrainian troops straight onto Russian positions.

Earlier, the grouping reported that a group of Ukrainian soldiers had been captured near Seversk, where heavy fighting continues in Donbass.

According to the Russian serviceman, four Ukrainian soldiers were sent forward and followed the drone without understanding where they were going or why. As he described it, they ended up walking directly toward Russian troops and did not realize how they had been taken prisoner.

He added that the Ukrainian soldiers appeared unable to navigate either the terrain or the overall situation. In his words, chaos prevails in their ranks, with no coordination between commanders and no exchange of information between units.
