Ukrainian paratroopers captured 11 Russian soldiers on one of the fronts without firing a single shot, the Air Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine report.

The fighters from the 77th Separate Air Assault Dnipro Brigade, along with adjacent units, carried out the operation.

Taking the enemy into captivity occurred all at once and without a single shot, as the frightened invaders, after being surrounded, threw down their weapons and lowered their heads in front of the Ukrainian soldiers.

"It turned out that among these 'Ocean's Eleven' was a Belarusian citizen, who was sent to 'enrich' Ukrainian land under false pretenses. How exactly? Watch our new video," the statement said.

According to Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the most tense situation remains in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions. Russian forces may be planning an offensive on the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region.
