Fighters from the 77th Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, in cooperation with adjacent units, captured 11 servicemen of the Russian army, one of whom was identified as a Belarusian citizen.

According to Ukrinform, the Brigade shared this information on Facebook and posted a video.

"This happened in one instance and without a single shot being fired, as the frightened invaders, upon being surrounded, dropped their weapons and bowed their heads before the Ukrainian soldiers. It was revealed that among these 'Ocean's Eleven' was a Belarusian citizen, who had been deceived into becoming fertilizer for the Ukrainian soil," the post reads.
