Ukraine's National Guard Chervona Kalyna Brigade engaged in a battle with a group of Russian troops in the Pokrovsk direction. Ukrainian defenders took the Russians prisoner.
Russian infantrymen were hiding in an abandoned building in the Pokrovsk direction. However, the Ukrainian National Guard exposed the Russians' hideout.
"The brigade's scouts, like ghosts, quietly appeared, joined the battle, and smoked the Russian occupiers out of their lair," the statement says.
The National Guard emphasizes that each prisoner is a chance for Ukrainians who are held in Russian captivity in inhumane conditions to return home.
Situation at front
176 combat engagements were registered on the frontline over the last day. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the most active areas are Lyman, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Novopavlivka.
Russian troops are trying to reach the administrative borders of the Dnipropetrovsk region, but they have not managed to gain a foothold, and fighting continues there. Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied Russia's advance in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
