In the Sloviansk area, paratroopers from the 81st Separate Slobozhanskyi Airborne Brigade of the 7th Airborne Corps captured six servicemen of the Russian Federation’s armed forces.

According to Ukrinform, the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Telegram and released a video.

“They surrendered voluntarily. Each was carrying out a mission under conditions where the only way to survive was to lay down their weapons and come out with their hands up. Each of them had their own motivation. Some had spent most of their lives in prison, some had tried to avoid military service, and others had joined to earn money,” the Airborne Assault Forces commented on the video.
