1. This post covers the incident in more detail: [https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/17o1i3i/the_first_two_casualties_of_russian_strike_during/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/17o1i3i/the_first_two_casualties_of_russian_strike_during/)

   In war, things like this will happen sometimes. It’s a tragic blow, but I’m not going to hide what took place. This is a war footage sub and as such I will continue to post videos that sometimes include things we’d all much rather hadn’t happened. But they did happen, and the world should see it, so they know what sacrifices Ukraine is making in her fight for freedom. Not doing so minimizes the heroism of these troops.

   Heroiam Slava!

2. This must be thoroughly investigated. Did the Russians have inside information, why was this taking place so close to the front, why were they out in the open? So many experienced soldiers dead in a medal presentation. This must never happen again.

4. “Oh yeah we are at war. Oh yeah a war of the drones. lets do a ceremony at the frontline, in the open, during the day. Best idea ever”.

   Whoever agreed to this dumb ceremony has to be courtmartialed.

5. Doing a large gathering outside…. in an active warzone…. I’m no military strategist but this was a BAD idea. Shame on whoever made these men show up for this, they lost their lives because of it.

6. Commenters made fun of the russians when Ukraine striked a Russian ceremony, with things like “we’re lucky they are so dumb”. Works obviously both ways…

7. Fucking soviet style commanders. Literally the same thing happened to ru side and they learned fucking nothing from it.

8. This war is frustrating as hell. Been watching the Russians go full derp mode for almost 2 years but it seems sometimes ukraine can’t help but join in on the festivities of mind numbingly stupid decisions.

9. “All mistakes, fuckups and idiocy is exclusive to the enemy” kind of mentality going on here.

   I hope someone pays for this.

10. What a stupid mistake. Jesus

11. Name and shame this commander who authorised it.

12. The old problem in every war you never know who you can trust and and where is the next agent

13. Some traitor fed them that information

14. Thats one of the reasons why I woudn’t join military, but fight with partisans or militias.

    ​

    Military behave so extremly stupid. There is 0 reason to gather more than 5 soldiers. And for sure not in a place without air / missile defense.

    Just to get a damn medal.

    ​

    However, hope the catch the traitor and [censored] wall

15. Wait what? I think this may be the first time a Russian cruise missile even remotely hit a military targrt. Did they run out of civilians tomterrorize?

16. Moles inside. That’s the problem, tons of traitors near the front that give every move.
    That’s why mass mobilization did not happen and will not work.

17. The Ukrainians have the tools to respond in kind. Hopefully the GRU responds quickly to it.

18. I hope Ukraine learned from This to avoid it in The future

19. Whoever greenlit this needs to be shot.

    Ukraine just did this to Russia not too long ago. Did nobody on the Ukrainian side consider the fact that the same retarded mistake should not be committed?

    Who the fuck greenlits an award ceremony on the front?

20. The complete absence of common sense here is astounding.

21. Damn, that’s just too bad and crappin’ sad.

22. Fuck off! You post things like this glorifying russian actions against Ukrainians, i can see you salivating at the chance to post some Ukraine gore and upset and dishearten all on this sub. And i bet you have mixed posts of Russians suffering in your posts to try to say you are neutral or support Ukraine.

    You obviously enjoy posting Ukrainians suffering, you could have blurred the images or posted a link to an article about this, but no you post anti-Ukrainian videos that Russians use all the time for their propaganda and to push discontent on the Ukrainian side.

    I have noticed a few posts using almost the exact same wording and reasoning to post this , all seem to be roughly a year-old accounts. I will call you out for your obvious support of russia and attempts to discourage all on this sub.

    Get fucked russian or maga coward.

23. Bastards. Stupid, stupid command decision doing that so close to the front cost these men their lives. What a waste.
    Героям слава 🇺🇦

24. Never knew the Zombie knew how to use their missile other than bombing civilians maybe their not that brain dead as much as we know it, maybe

25. I hope every commander learns a lesson from seeing this. No large groups! Eyes are everywhere!
    What a waste.

26. Who tf has ceremonies with a lot of people together near a front line.

    What genious made that decision

27. Why would you hold an award ceremony on the front lines? That seems like a bad idea no?

28. Should never have happened A failure in judgement and security
