Soldiers of the 77th Separate Airborne Brigade of the Airborne Forces captured a Russian army officer.
According to the Airborne Assault Forces Command, while performing a combat mission, a drone operator wounded a Russian serviceman with two accurate shots. Realising that there was no way out, he decided to voluntarily surrender to the Ukrainian defenders.
‘Despite the bloody war, we adhere to the norms of international humanitarian law. The prisoner was given water, food and medical assistance in accordance with the requirements of the Geneva Conventions,’ the Airborne Forces said.
