Russian officer escaped to the Ukrainian side with 11 of his fellow servicemen, GUR reports.

Russian lieutenant Daniil Alfyorov "actively cooperated with the Ukrainian GUR and Defence forces since June 2023". He convinced 11 of his comrades to surrender into Ukrainian captivity from the Russian army, where their lives were under great danger of torture and being sent into meat assaults.

"When there was a threat to Alfiorov's life, Ukraine carried out a special operation for his controlled withdrawal to Ukrainian territory," said Andriy Yusov, a representative of the State Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, during a press conference.

In Limassol, Cyprus, a protest rally was held by Ukrainians residing in Cyprus to express their indignation regarding the planned celebration of the anniversary of the annexation of territories in Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions by Russia. Hundreds of concerned Ukrainians from various parts of the island gathered at the protest to voice their opposition to the commemoration.

During the rally, a symbolic performance took place, where five individuals dressed in embroidered shirts and viburnum wreaths, with their hands bound by the Russian flag, represented the occupied regions of Ukraine. Protesters held banners featuring photographs of Kostyantyn and Vlada Liberov, renowned Ukrainian military photojournalists, and chanted slogans in Ukrainian, English, and Greek, declaring the Ukrainian identity of these regions, including Luhansk, Donetsk, Crimea, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson.

The occupiers are transferring combat boats by land, fearing attacks from Ukrainian drones

During a reconnaissance mission, an ATESH agent recorded the transfer of Raptor-class combat boats. They were transferred along the H06 highway towards Sevastopol. These boats are used to patrol the Crimean coastline.

It is obvious that the Russians are very frightened by the attacks of Ukrainian drones and soon there will be no place in the Black Sea where they will be safe.

The agent also discovered a repair base of the invaders at the entrance to Bakhchisarai - 44.74399, 33.82226. The Russians were careless not to camouflage their KAMAZ trucks. Wait hello 💥
