A follow-up to yesterday’s post1.

Ukrainian Major General Mykhailo Drapaty, appointed commander of Ukraine's land forces at the end of November, reacted to Russia’s Iskander-M missile strike on a military encampment 100 kilometers in the rear that killed dozens of military recruits.

Drapaty said certain individuals "failed to act in time."

In a post on his Telegram channel, he said "anger is eating away at me from the inside."

"War requires quick decisions, responsibility, and new safety standards—otherwise, we will lose more than we have," he said, warning: "Everyone who made decisions that day, and everyone who did not make them in time, will all be held accountable. No one will hide behind explanations or formal reports."

Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky also reacted, relieving several officers of their commands and ordering an investigation.
