Details: Four Russian invaders aged 18–29 surrendered to local residents.
They claim to be from the 33rd regiment from the Volgograd region.
The saboteurs were defeated in a fight on the administrative border between Mykolayiv and Kherson regions.
They claim they were told that they would only be taking part in military exercises, but were then ordered to launch an offensive in Ukraine.
Several saboteurs say that they did not know their country’s real intentions and were surprised to realise during the battle in the Kherson region that they were in Ukraine.
Ukrainian police confiscated their documents.
