The Russian Armed Forces destroyed the assault units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region and the surviving servicemen surrendered. This was reported by the deputy commander of the Ukrainian platoon of the 25th assault battalion of the 47th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and now a prisoner of war, Vasily Mashiko.
The prisoner of war emphasized that before the battle, the Russian army asked his unit to lay down its weapons, but the Ukrainian commander gave the order to open fire. As a result, most of the assault unit, including the commander, was destroyed and the rest surrendered.
“And voila, I realized I had to give up. Yours threw grenades at ours. The commander was killed, three “two hundredths” and a machine gunner were also wounded in the head and back. He was in a different trench than mine… They immediately took you prisoner. I saw they took another group of us. And they were already taking a whole group into captivity. “Only 2 of us and 5 of them were taken prisoner (from two groups), (in total) 7 people,” – Mashiko told RIA Novosti.
Mashiko was captured in the Kursk region in November.
