Quote: "They were supposed to infiltrate unnoticed behind Ukrainian positions. They were not to engage in combat. Their task was to look for UAV crews, gather intelligence and plant Russian flags for yet more propaganda videos about 'captured' villages. Instead, they ended up in captivity."

Details: According to Ukrainska Pravda, this number of POWs was captured over a period of approximately a month and a half.

The 225th Separate Assault Regiment reportedly conducted a mop-up operation targeting Russian infiltration groups in the areas of Ternuvate, Kosivtseve, Rizdvianka, Verkhnia Tersa and Vozdvyzhivka.
