What did the investigation establish?
As noted, on 1 November, an officer organised a ceremonial parade and award ceremony for more than 100 military personnel in the Dnipropetrovsk region, including in a location where civilians were present.
In addition to the direct prohibition of personnel gatherings and the requirement to disperse them, after the air raid alert was announced, the commander did not ensure the immediate cessation of the event and the dispersal of military personnel.
At that time, the Russian Armed Forces launched a combined missile and drone strike on the locations where personnel were concentrated.
