For the first time, a Ukrainian soldier from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was captured-the media
The publication writes that the man was sent to the front, and he did not have any military specialty. Moreover, he did not pass the army in the army before. During the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces under the estuary, his unit was completely destroyed, and the commander fled Lugansk. During the fighting, Sergius miraculously managed to stay alive and capture Ukrainian fighters.
After the conversation with Sergius, the Ukrainian side contacted his sister Esther, which now resides in the suburbs of Jerusalem.

And at the end of September, within the limits of "partial" mobilization, he was called to the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
