Border guards capture Russian soldier disguised in Ukrainian uniform in Donetsk Oblast – Video
The
Revenge border guard brigade captured a Russian occupier in Donetsk Oblast
who had donned a Ukrainian army coat and surrendered after a failed assault,
the State Border Guard Service reported on Telegram
on May 24.
The Russians in a small group tried to enter the positions of the Defense Forces during the night assault. Border guards inflicted fire damage and forced the occupiers to retreat. But one of them decided to turn himself in as a prisoner, putting on Ukrainian military uniform.
The prisoner found the coat while driving to the positions of the border guards, he said. He comes from Circassia and came to the war in Ukraine, having signed a contract with the Russian army.
He was handed over to law enforcement agencies, the border guards said.
The 3rd separate assault brigade captured the deputy platoon commander of the 752nd regiment of the Russian army, who called himself Senior Sergeant Ivan Semenov, near the village of Raihorodka in Luhansk Oblast, on May 11.
The Ukrainian military captured two Russian occupiers during the clearing of one of the settlements in Kharkiv Oblast, the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on May 16.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
