Details: The prisoner said he previously worked as a repairman in the southeast of the Russian Federation, from where he was mobilised in October 2022.

First, he joined a tank brigade and built fortifications on the border of the Russian Federation with Ukraine in Kursk Oblast.

In the autumn of 2023, he was transferred to a reconnaissance unit on the Svatove front, changed into a military uniform similar to the model of the Ukrainian army, and sent to conduct reconnaissance and assault operations, during which he came across a mine-explosive barrier.

Quote: "After the explosion, the reconnaissance group left their wounded ‘brother’-in-arms.

Soldiers of the Steel Border Brigade evacuated the wounded Ruscist from the battlefield and provided first aid.

Therefore, the would-be scout survived thanks to being captured, and will subsequently replenish the exchange fund [for prisoners of war – ed.]."
