A report compiled from law enforcement sources and circulated by RIA News describes a tense moment on the ground where a unit of 17 Ukrainian service members laid down their arms after being ordered to hold a fortified position without ammunition. The account highlights a sequence in which Protestant-like discipline met with rapidly diminishing resources, ultimately leading to a strategic decision to surrender rather than press a fight that could no longer be sustained. The incident underscores the harsh realities faced by frontline units in contested urban fortifications and the evolving choices open to soldiers under heavy pressure and limited supplies. The information, attributed to law enforcement communications cited by RIA News, frames the event as a consequence of command directives encountered at a critical juncture in the Donetsk People’s Republic area.
