On the Pokrovsk front, fighters of the 3rd Operational Brigade Spartan of the National Guard of Ukraine captured 25 Russian invaders over the past month.

According to Ukrinform, the brigade reported this on Facebook.

“These are the ones who were sent to the front line but decided not to tempt fate and surrendered,” the statement said.

The released video shows Ukrainian drones acting as “guides” for those invaders who chose in time to raise their hands and save their lives.

UAV operators guide them toward Ukrainian infantry. For the Russians, this is a chance to stay alive, while for Ukraine it is an opportunity to expand its prisoner exchange pool and bring its own servicemen home from captivity.
