The building was encircled and fired upon. It is stated that after having considered their options, the Russians made the only right decision in this case – to come out with their hands up and surrender to Ukrainian captivity.

Quote: "Thus, they prolonged their miserable lives, and the 46th Brigade contributed to the prisoner-of-war exchange pool. Thanks to this, even more Ukrainian soldiers will be able to come back home in the future."

Details: At the same time, the brigade told ArmyInform outlet that it happened on the Pokrovsk front. The paratroopers managed to discover a hideout where a group of 11 soldiers from a Russian forward detachment was located. They then took the building under fire control.

The Ukrainian military began to methodically attack them by conducting targeted strikes. As a result of these actions, two Russian soldiers were killed, and nine people decided to surrender.

Quote from Army Inform: "The capture of prisoners was carried out by only two Ukrainian soldiers, who coped with the task professionally and effectively.

However, due to heavy enemy artillery fire, Ukrainian defenders, together with the prisoners, remained in shelter at their positions for another day or two until all the captured Russian soldiers were evacuated."
