"We do not abandon our own", but "destroy".
Just a fantastic story that happened during the storming of Andriivka.
Assault group of the 2nd mechanized battalion🇺🇦 The 3rd OShBr takes another group of prisoners, at the same time the enemy, realizing that the village is lost and his soldiers are surrendering en masse, orders to open "fire on their own".
Arrival There is silence at the command post, everyone is gray. The smoke clears - all our targets, one is captured in pieces, two are lucky and are taken out to live. Luck plays a role in war.
The most important shots of the operation are ahead.

What am I seeing here? Two Ukrainians with blue helmet markings handling surrendering Russian soldiers, when a russian artillery shell hits?
The shell landed on the Russians that were laying down. Luckily the Ukranians were far enough away.
How could any of these guys survive such a shelling? What kind of artillery shell has such a small destructive radius?
I'm wondering this too. You can see the shockwave all the way on the edge of the drone footage and in the aftermath you can clearly see the impact location. My only explanation is dumb luck, maybe all the rubble somehow helped covering them. Or it's some weird garbage shell from NK that just swirls up a lot of dust.
One of the Russians seem to be potentially hurt though.
