Ukrainians Capture 2 Russian POWs In Zaporizhzia
Published 11 months ago
Ukrainian drone footage shows a three man team of infantrymen assaulting a Russian-occupied trench which results in the capture of two Russian soldiers.
The fighting was so close that the two entities were able to verbally communicate. The Ukrainians gave them the ultimatum: Surrender or die. The Russians chose the first option and came out with their hands up.
An explosion erupted from the trench just prior to the end of the video. Some pro-Ukrainian accounts are suggesting a third Russian soldier detonated a grenade, committing suicide to avoid capture, but it's probably more likely that one of the Ukrainian soldiers tossed a frag into the trench to mitigate any unfavorable surprises should there be more Russian troops concealed inside.
