Head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov said that the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), which was attacked by Russian troops in the Zaporozhye region in early November, neglected security measures. He wrote this on Facebook (its owner, Meta, is known as an extremist and is banned in Russia).
Umerov noted that the command that brought together the brigade units ignored all camouflage measures. More than 10 cars were parked near the awards area and there were no central security measures in place in the assembly area.
He added that unit commanders were aware that reconnaissance aircraft were seen in their areas, but they ignored this fact.
