An unusual event unfolded on the Toretsk front as an Egyptian mercenary recruited by Russian forces surrendered to the Ukrainian military.
The 28th Mechanized Brigade said it happened during one of the latest Russian assaults, which, the soldiers said, resembled the earlier battles with Wagner mercenaries.
“When smaller enemy groups failed to break through, they started sending larger assault teams of up to 20 fighters. This wasn’t successful either—it only increased their losses,” the brigade explained.
Under the cover of fog, a Russian assault group tried to ambush Ukrainian positions. However, the 2nd Mechanized Battalion infantry spotted them and responded with fire.
The attackers tried to flee, hide, and even pretended to be dead but were located and taken out by the brigade’s Drone Systems Battalion.
One of the enemy soldiers surrendered and was later identified as an Egyptian national. The language barrier made Ukrainian soldiers use gestures to communicate with the captive.
“He chose to surrender and it saved his life,” a brigade representative noted.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
