Video: Hartu fighters captured nine Russian soldiers in two days
In the Southern Slobozhanshchyna sector, border guards from the “Gart” brigade captured nine Russian assault troops in two days and killed two more occupiers during combat. On August 21, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine noted that before the Russian soldiers surrendered, they were attacked by Ukrainian bombers and FPV drones.
According to the prisoners themselves, they were first targeted by a heavy bomber and FPV drones, after which Ukrainian soldiers approached them.
“They were young, healthy guys—resisting them was a futile effort. They offered us the chance to surrender, which we did immediately. In any case, our side wouldn’t have let us return. Even as we were moving toward the border with Ukraine, our ‘little bird’ was escorting us to make sure we didn’t escape,” the Russians admit.
