Today, before the first official run, the International Olympic Committee announced its decision to disqualify the Ukrainian skeleton athlete allegedly…
Aerial reconnaissance pilots of the 127th Separate Heavy Mechanized Kharkiv Brigade captured five Russian servicemen over two days, including prisoners from the Russian Federation and a mercenary from Kenya. The occupiers surrendered directly to the drone, realizing that command had abandoned them.
This was reported in a video published on the brigade’s official page.
Captivity instead of a “one-way road”
According to Ukrainian fighters, Russian command continues to throw personnel into battle regardless of losses. At the same time, more and more occupiers — including those forcibly mobilized from prisons — refuse to die for Kremlin slogans.
One of the captives admitted that he signed the contract under pressure, having severe chronic illnesses. According to him, prison authorities first conducted “agitation”, then resorted to physical coercion.
“They were running like scalded”
Aerial reconnaissance pilot with the call sign “Kastet” says that during combat operations in wooded terrain, the enemy was detected along reconnaissance routes. After several hours of pursuit by drones, some occupiers realized there would be no support.
After two hours of “chases” through the forest, Russian soldiers began dropping their weapons and waving at the drone camera, signaling readiness to surrender. The drone hovered over them without dropping munitions — and this became the decisive signal.
Captivity via ‘Mavic’
The occupiers were literally guided out of the forest using the drone: the pilot indicated the direction of movement with a flashlight and coordinated their exit to Ukrainian positions. There, the captives were provided with first aid, water, and food.
Among those captured were not only Russian citizens, but also a mercenary from Kenya, who said he had been recruited under the guise of ordinary work. Realizing he had ended up in a war against Ukraine, he also decided to surrender.
Exchange fund and a clear signal
Ukrainian fighters emphasize: the more occupiers surrender, the more Ukrainian defenders return home. At the same time, the message to the enemy remains unambiguous — the choice is simple: captivity and life, or destruction.
