Ukrainian paratroopers conducted a successful operation in the Sumy region, capturing 15 Russian army troops, according to the Air Assault Troops of Ukraine.
Most of the detainees are soldiers of the 810th and 155th separate Russian Marine Brigades. These formations are known for their particular cruelty to Ukrainian prisoners of war, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who were released from captivity have repeatedly stated.
According to the Ukrainian military, the captured Russians themselves reported inhuman treatment in their units on the territory of Russia - psychological pressure, humiliation, and threats from commanders.
After the capture, Russian soldiers were provided with first aid and psychological assistance. In the future, they may be involved in an exchange for Ukrainian soldiers who are still being held captive by Russia.
Capture of Russian prisoners
At the end of May, Ukrainian paratroopers captured 10 Russian soldiers in the Kursk sector.
Before that, soldiers of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine captured several dozen Russian marines in the Kursk region. At the same time, the servicemen of the 810th Marine Brigade of Russia were captured when Russians celebrated the Day of the Marine Corps.
Soldiers of the 8th Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine raided the positions of Russian troops in the Kursk region. Then, 10 occupants were eliminated, and 3 more were taken prisoner.
