How Azov Infantry Intercepted a Rus Recon Team: Occupiers' Confessions and GoPro Footage - Azov
"Called fire upon ourselves". Elite Russian reconnaissance troops captured by Azov fighters.
Infantrymen from the 2nd Battalion of the 12th Azov Brigade captured five occupiers during a combat mission in the Toretsk sector.
These Russians were far from being ordinary "mobiks"[forcibly mobilized] or prisoners. Decorated and experienced reconnaissance group resisted Azov fighters for several days. Ultimately, the group's commander was eliminated, and his subordinates chose life and surrendered.
While in captivity, the Russians revealed details about their "achievements" in the war, as well as constant orders from their command to execute both prisoners of war and civilians.
How did Azov fighters capture the enemy reconnaissance group, and what happened next? Watch now.
Wounded Ukrainian veterans taking fight to Russia with FPV drones - Forces News
BFBS Forces News' Ukraine correspondent Simon Newton reports from a secret testing site outside Kyiv.
"This isn't even properly cold," Liza Bondarenko tells me, as we stand shivering in a field somewhere outside Kyiv.
In a past life, she and her husband had both worked in IT.
"We were Dinkies," she says with a laugh, referring to the acronym for 'double income no kids'.
A video appeared on russian Telegram channels where a Ukrainian Defender of Mariupol Oleksandr Maksymchuk shares that he has spent two and a half years in russian captivity and was tortured there.
Oleksandr and his brothers-in-arms were sentenced by russian courts to 20 years in prison for defending their land from russian aggression.
Thousands of Ukrainians remain in russian captivity and go through hell there.

Veterans Anastasia and Oleksiy got married in Kyiv – the couple met during rehabilitation
Staff from the specialized clinic for prosthetics and reconstruction Superhumans shared photos from the wedding.
“Veterans Oleksiy and Anastasia met during rehabilitation less than a year ago. Lyosha was mastering a hip prosthesis, Nastya was learning to walk again after losing her lower leg. We are incredibly touched that Superhumans not only returns lost opportunities, but also creates new families,” the medical center wrote.
Sniper Anastasia joined the army a few months before her 24th birthday. While performing a task, the woman was injured, which led to the loss of her lower leg. She admitted that during that battle she was ready to die, because it seemed that there was no chance of staying alive.
During her rehabilitation at the Superhumans center, Anastasia met Alexey, a military man who also had to have his leg amputated after an injury.
In May 2024, the couple got engaged.
