Azov fighters discovered a basement with Russians inside in the Donetsk region
In the village of Zolotyi Kolodyazh in the Pokrovsk district of Donetsk Oblast, Azov fighters accidentally stumbled upon a cache belonging to Russian troops. According to military sources, the occupiers were in a basement where they had cannabis and about 35 liters of wine, and were also fighting among themselves, including shooting at each other. They eventually surrendered without a fight and used an interpreter to communicate.
This was reported by Azov.
They were found by fighters from the Azov International Battalion.
"The occupiers had taken over a basement in Zolotyi Kolodiaz, where they were entertaining themselves as usual: they had 35 liters of wine, were smoking cannabis, and had killed one of their own. Their idyll was shattered by the 3rd International Battalion of the 12th Special Forces Brigade "Azov," which stumbled upon their hideout," the soldiers said.
The Azov fighters spoke with the Russians. They revealed many interesting details. For example, that one of them was missing three fingers on his hand, but “on paper” he was a sniper. After being wounded, he was sent “to the rear to open cans,” but in reality, he was sent to Zolotyi Kolodiaz. Another had an intellectual disability, but he was deemed fit for service.
The Russians admitted that they hadn’t brought alcohol with them, but had found it in the house. And they smoked cannabis because they wanted to smoke, and “the whole village used that weed.” Those who didn’t smoke themselves “relaxed” by inhaling the smoke.
Eventually, the Russian mechanic started drinking every day. When he got into a conflict with other members of the group, they killed him with a shot to the head. And they began digging another bunker—“in case of an assault” or a munitions drop from heavy drones.
Ukrainian “Vampir” heavy drones, which the Russians call “Baba Yaga,” are very effective. The prisoners admitted that they saw soldiers being blown to pieces right before their eyes.
“I saw other guys there; they were literally blown to pieces right there—seven people. They were alive right in front of me, and there were 200 of them. You walk along, and the ground is covered with corpses all the way to the end—probably about 400 meters. Just corpses, maybe 100 people, maybe more,” the occupier shared.
In fact, Ukrainian fighters came across the Russians while clearing out buildings. One of the fighters felt his foot sink into the ground and saw that there was someone in that hole. The Russians had few weapons and didn’t risk firing.
Now the invaders are glad that they have hot food, water, painkillers, and medical care in captivity. They say they weren’t afraid of “Azov” and don’t consider surrendering to be something shameful.
They add that Ukraine “is actually defending its territory and fighting back.” And seeing the photos of abandoned Ukrainian homes “makes you really sad.”
“I am appealing to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Please stop all of this, all the fighting. Please stop this war. We beg you, we all ask you. Ukrainian territories are already simply, well, littered with the corpses of our own, Russian occupiers. Stop this war and that’s it. It’s not hard for you to do this,” the Russian soldiers appealed to Putin.
They also urged their comrades in the occupying army not to go on missions where they might be abandoned and forgotten.
