SOF eliminate and capture Russians who shot dead two Ukrainian soldiers

The SOF command announced this on its Facebook page, Ukrinform reports.

The Russian invaders captured two soldiers from the Territorial Defense Forces a few days ago in one of the sectors.

Meanwhile, a unit from the Special Operations Forces was carefully planning an operation to eliminate the enemy group and return the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers.

During the operation, the SOF operators eliminated part of the enemy group and forced the rest to surrender.

The captured Russians were marines from the 40th Arctic Brigade. During the questioning, they confirmed that they had captured two Ukrainian soldiers and reported this to their company commander by the radio.

Their commander ordered them to execute the Ukrainian soldiers. The Ukrainian soldiers heard this and ran away, but Russian soldiers with the call signs “Yaryi”, “Lebed”, “Boom” and “Belyi” immediately opened fire on them.

The latter three were killed by the SOF operators during the special operation, while “Yaryi”, along with two others, was captured.

All the captured Russians were contract soldiers who had been serving in the Russian army for only a month and a half.

The execution of prisoners of war is a gross violation of the Geneva Convention and constitutes a war crime, the SOF emphasized.

As reported by Ukrinform, on January 7, the Special Operations Forces announced the elimination of 13 North Korean soldiers in Russia’s Kursk region.
