Ukrainian Soldiers Capture Two Russian Prisoners of War in Assault on Enemy Position

Soldiers of the 108th Separate Mountain Assault Battalion launched an assault on an enemy position and captured POWs.

The press service of the 108th Separate Mountain Assault Battalion reported on this.

During the assault in the Kupiansk sector, the Ukrainian fighters managed to capture two Russian invaders.

One of the POWs with the call sign ‘Shurup’ had previously served a 15-year prison sentence. In November 2023, to avoid further imprisonment, he signed a contract and joined the war against Ukraine.

Another POW with the call sign ‘Shmel’ served as a sniper with the 350th Infantry Regiment for 1.3 years after being mobilized to fight against Ukraine.

Their training period lasted about one month, and they were trained for the position of rifleman. As they noted, during the training, they did more walking than shooting with assault rifles.

As part of their training, they fired one magazine of a Kalashnikov rifle.

According to the prisoners of war, their unit has suffered heavy losses from Ukrainian artillery in recent weeks and has lost more than two dozen units of military equipment.

As Militarnyi previously reported, soldiers of the 128th Brigade repelled an attack by Russian troops and captured 11 invaders in the Zaporizhzhia sector.

They successfully halted the invaders’ attack on the approach to Ukrainian positions, damaging the advancing Russian armored vehicles with artillery fire. After that, the disoriented enemy infantry sought refuge in shelters.

After the attacking forces were defeated, the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade moved to clear the ‘gray zone’ of the remnants of the enemy forces.

Under the influence of heavy small arms fire, the surviving enemies made the only right decision—to surrender. The surrender process was captured on video.
