An earlier video featuring Tomov voluntarily surrendering the positions of his comrades was released on Aug. 9. His group went missing near the Kozachi Laheri settlement during a Ukrainian Armed Forces operation on the left bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast. It became evident that the Russian officer had fallen into Ukrainian custody during the operation.

The Russians claimed to have sent additional forces to Kozachi Laheri and to have regained control of the area. They released a video with Tomov reporting the "successful" completion of the mission.

It was later revealed that the video had been fabricated using outdated footage.
