Fighters of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade (SAB) successfully conducted an operation behind Russian lines and captured six invaders.
As reported by a participant of the operation, the commander of the 2nd company of the 2nd assault battalion with the call sign "Datsyk," the Russians mistook the Ukrainian military for their own.
The occupiers thought it was their own assault troops accidentally advancing towards their positions. Only after reaching our position did they realize they had been captured and would be checked not by "their own" but by the fighters of the Third Assault Brigade.
"Datsyk" notes that during the operation, the infantry of the 3rd SAB moved behind enemy lines without drone support from a safe direction. Approaching a dugout, they heard the voices of Russian Armed Forces soldiers, began throwing grenades, and advancing. At that moment, "Datsyk" proposed staging a scene: pretending to be Russian soldiers and shouting in Russian, "Surrender, you bastards."
In response, the occupiers shouted, "We’re Russian, b****." Later, the invaders admitted that their frontline comrades had repeatedly attacked their own positions.
Subsequently, the six prisoners were taken supposedly to a headquarters "to check documents" and were eventually told, "welcome to Ukraine." The occupiers revealed that they had been on position with one deceased comrade, and his body remained there for 10 days.
