During a combat operation on the frontline, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine's Special Forces unit Shamanbat eliminated a Russian assault group and captured 4 Russian troops, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reports.

"Thanks to the decisive actions of the Shamanbat unit of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, we managed to replenish the exchange fund with 4 Russians who will be exchanged for Ukrainian defenders," the intelligence explains.

The intelligence officers also released an archival video with footage of the battle and clearing of positions. The video shows a dynamic small arms battle with an enemy assault group.

"The rest of the Russian troops who fought with the Shamanbat were less fortunate - three Russians were eliminated," the DIU adds.
