They asked me to say "Palyanytsia": the gunners captured a Russian who was supposed to conduct the Russian Armed Forces in Kostyantynivka

Share: For the first time, artillerymen of the 28th separate mechanized brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign captured a Russian soldier who was supposed to lead a Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group to the city of Kostyantynivka in Donetsk region. Ukrainian gunners in the Donetsk region were able to accomplish what is not usually expected from their work. This was announced on October 25 in the Telegram channel of the brigade.

Such a case was the first in the history of the brigade. "We do not dare to assert, but perhaps even for the first time in this war you will see such a case," the post reads. The captured Russian turned out not to be an ordinary mobilized serviceman, but an enemy representative of a sabotage and intelligence group (DRG).

It was he who was supposed to lead the Russian DRG group into the city of Kostyantynivka itself, as well as "prepare the ground" for the invasion of the Russian Armed Forces from the inside. The servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces foiled the intentions of the Russian military to accumulate forces in Kostyantynivka, the brigade claims. "The irony of fate: the artillery, which usually strikes from afar, this time worked from close range. Literally," the military said.

The military also said that the captured Russian tried to pass himself off as an Azov soldier. However, the Ukrainian gunners tested him, offering to say the word "burner". After that, the Russian pointed a machine gun at one of the Ukrainian soldiers, and the other shot the Russian in the leg. The gunners captured the Russian. As it turned out after the arrest, the captured Russian's name is Oleg.

He fought against Ukraine for the fourth year in a row, and he himself was from the Russian city of Penza, Penza region. Further, the occupier is expected to be exchanged, the brigade noted. We will remind, on October 24, the 425th separate assault regiment "Skelya" said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to liberate Torske in the Donetsk region, destroying and capturing Russian soldiers.
