Ukrainian troops capture 9 Russian soldiers in first combat mission

 A Russian assault group fell into a trap set by fighters of Ukraine’s 425th Separate Assault Regiment Skelia. During their first combat mission, Ukrainian soldiers captured nine Russian troops, according to the regiment’s YouTube channel.

Four servicemen from the regiment managed to take nine Russians prisoner during their very first mission.

"It turned out that Russian commanders are sending untrained, unfit people into battle, who abandon their weapons at the first opportunity," the Ukrainian soldiers said.
