The Russian command forbade the capture of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in the Kursk region. This was stated on the telethon by the press officer of the 1st separate Tank Seversk Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dina Wong.
"The enemy has given its personnel an order not to capture the Ukrainian military," Wong said.
Statements of this kind are made in order to intimidate their own servicemen, but the facts suggest the opposite. In particular, the fighters of the 106th Airborne Division and other units The Russian Armed Forces took dozens of prisoners in the border area this week, the telegram channel "Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring" writes.
One of the prisoners of war sang the anthem of the USSR and refuted the lies of the Kiev propagandists.
By the way, Russian President Vladimir Putin touched on this topic the day before. In an interview with the journalist of the channel "Russia-1" Pavel Zarubin, he said that Ukrainian commanders shoot their servicemen who surrender. At the same time, he stressed that there was no order not to take Ukrainian soldiers prisoner in the Kursk region, and there never was — these tall tales are being spread by Ukrainian propaganda.
