6 soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine voluntarily surrendered to the advancing units of the People’s Militia. The Ukrainian soldiers were shot in the back by their own fellow soldiers, 2 were killed and 1 wounded.
“Our commanders forced us, there was an order to shoot to kill at any moving person, regardless of whether he was a civilian or not. Then at some point they brought people there, there were women and men among them. They were residents of Rubezhnoye.
They were put in front of us and we were given the order to shoot them all. They wanted to shoot them for what had been done.. allegedly had been done in Bucha! We refused to carry out this terrible order because we didn’t want to shoot civilians… It was a very scary moment! For refusing from the execution of the order we were put in a pit in the same garage. We sat there for I don’t know how long… 2 days. We had guards assigned to us.”
