At least 27 Russian soldiers in Donetsk attempting to retreat from their positions were killed by friendly fire from their comrades, according to a Ukrainian lawmaker.

Yuriy Mysiagin, a Ukrainian member of parliament, said in a Telegram message on September 10 that Russian fighters had "retreated to new positions chaotically and almost in a panic."

Kostyantyn Mashovets, a colonel from Ukraine's armed forces, said in a September 10 Facebook post that the friendly fire likely kicked off because of poor coordination by the Russians.

Representatives for Russia's Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.

In August, a deputy battalion commander of Ukraine's 129th Territorial Defense Brigade told The New York Times that he saw Russian soldiers taking fire from their own side.
