straight language a fighter: “They probably guessed that we wanted to take their fighter, and massive artillery fire began. Moreover, they shot very close and very accurately. They didn’t want us to take him from there until the end. One FPV drone was also involved. It didn’t hit either, but it’s good for us.”

Details: SSO fighters also told reporters that they were preparing to capture soldiers from North Korea, including teaching them phrases in Korean.

This is the third attempt to capture North Korean servicemen. The first North Korean soldier who was captured was seriously wounded and died shortly after capture, the second committed suicide. Therefore, the third prisoner of war was immediately examined and monitored so that he did not harm himself.

straight language: “Perhaps he had a painful shock from the wound and did not yet know what was happening. We approached him very quickly. At the same time, the comrades who were with us controlled his every movement, that is, kept him in the sights so as not to harm the group “.

Details: The prisoner was also given an anesthetic injection, after which he was handed over to medics. According to the Ukrainian military, he really wanted to drink and eat.
