Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, in collaboration with the Defense Forces, have captured five Russian soldiers in Russia’s Kursk region.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Air Assault Forces Command shared the information, along with a corresponding video, on Telegram.

These individuals had signed contracts to "fight against Nazis and mercenaries." Within Russian units, they were subjected to inhumane treatment, including torture and executions for failing to carry out criminal orders and refusing to participate in "meat assaults."

The prisoners were given timely medical and psychological assistance.
