Ukraine’s 3rd
Separate Assault Brigade has managed to capture the commander of the Alga Volunteer
Battalion of the Russian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian unit said in a Telegram
post on Oct. 9.
The brigade clarified that the Russian officer was captured during an operation near Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast.
“Now he is another member of enemy senior officer staff in the [POW] exchange fund,” the message said.
The message also quoted the enemy officer reportedly commenting on the state of his unit: “A f**k ton [of our troops] have fallen here.”
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.
