Today, in the Donetsk direction, the defenders of Ukraine captured a group of representatives of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, which turned out to be residents of the occupied territories of Donbas.
This was reported by the press center of the Joint Forces Operation HQ.
"All of them were forcibly mobilized by the Kremlin authorities into their army and mercilessly sent here like cannon fodder," the statement said.
In a video released by the headquarters, the prisoners say they were summoned to a training gathering and later unexpectedly sent to Ukraine. According to the men, they "did not know where and why" they were going.
Besides that, the headquarters said, today the soldiers of the Azov Regiment met the Kadyrovtsy with dignity in the fields of Donbass.
"Elite troops of the Russian Federation turned out to be an ordinary cargo of " 200 " (killed soldiers), with which the occupiers are now massively flooding Ukraine," the statement says.
It will be recalled that Russia's open attack on Ukraine began after it recognized the DPR and LPR terrorist groups. On 24 February, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine, calling it a "special operation in the Donbas." Earlier, the SDDLR announced the "evacuation" of women and children and began to "mobilize" men to the ranks of terrorists.
