Fifteen Russian soldiers were captured by Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces, working in coordination with neighboring units, during operations in Sumy region.

That is according to a statement by the Command of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted on Facebook, as reported by Ukrinform.

Most of the captured troops belonged to Russia’s 810th and 155th Separate Naval Infantry Brigades — units known for their notorious brutality toward Ukrainian defenders held captive. In Russia, these brigades have been documented as treating prisoners inhumanely, subjecting them to psychological abuse and threats.

The prisoners have received the necessary medical and psychological assistance and may later be exchanged for Ukrainian soldiers held in Russian captivity.
