Drone operators from the Phoenix unit of the Revenge border guard brigade have captured a Russian infantryman in the Lyman sector.

According to Ukrinform, the unit's press service reported this on Telegram and released a corresponding video.

During a night patrol, the crew of a Vampir heavy bomber spotted a Russian invader who "got lost" in Ukraine.

For humanitarian reasons, Ukrainian defenders decided to take the infantryman prisoner. They dropped him a bottle of water and a note instructing him to follow the drone. When he approached Ukrainian positions, border guards took him into captivity.
