The defenders of the Airborne Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, together with related units, captured 15 Russian servicemen while performing tasks in the Sumy region. This was reported by the Airborne Assault Troops command on Facebook on Thursday, June 26.
Most of the prisoners are soldiers from the Russian 810th Separate Naval Infantry and 155th Separate Naval Infantry brigades.
"These brigades were distinguished by their particular cruelty towards Ukrainian servicemen in enemy captivity," the statement noted.
In their units on the territory of the Russian Federation, they were subjected to inhumane treatment, psychological pressure and threats.
The press service emphasized that the prisoners had already been provided with the necessary medical and psychological assistance. So now they can be used for further exchange for Ukrainian servicemen held in Russian captivity.
Let us recall that recently Ukrainian servicemen captured 10 Russian servicemen in the Kursk direction.
