17 captured occupiers taken in the Toretsk direction.
During the repulse of enemy assaults and counterattacks near New York, fighters of the 12th special purpose brigade "Azov" together with adjacent units captured almost two dozen soldiers of the Russian Federation.
Russians came to kill Ukrainians from different parts of Russia. Some of them are complicit in war crimes. Their statements will be handed over to the relevant authorities for further investigation.
"Azov" continues to replenish the exchange fund in order to return the comrades from captivity as soon as possible.
The fighters of the brigade guarantee the safety of all Russians who have decided to lay down their arms and surrender.
The Ukranians are smart enough that this is how it'll likely go down, and I agree that it's the right thing to do, but I don't think it'll make a difference in how many lives are saved. I hope I'm wrong about that though.
