Soldiers of the Spartan Brigade, who are performing combat missions in the Kharkiv region, have replenished Ukraine's exchange fund. This time, five more Russian occupiers were taken prisoner, according to the Kharkiv operational and tactical group of troops.

The general portrait of the prisoners is typical:

  • 29 to 42 years old;
  • former convicts who signed contracts this summer while in various pre-trial detention centers;
  • went to war with a common goal - to earn money and be released from criminal punishment.

“Some of them were even promised an order and 60 days of vacation for capturing a Ukrainian officer. However, their fate was quite different. A group of Russian invaders failed the task of landing, digging in, and waiting for reinforcements and was captured,” the Kharkiv operational and tactical group of troops adds.

Fighters of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine captured Russians during the liberation of the aggregate plant in Vovchansk in the north of Kharkiv region.
