Ukrainian special forces capture three Russian troops and rescue fawn during raid

On August 15, Ukrainian special operations forces rescued a young fawn and captured three Russian troops during an operation near the front line, according to the Special Operations Forces Command. The mission was conducted by soldiers from the 6th Ranger Regiment of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces, who infiltrated enemy territory in one sector of the battlefield.

Upon discovering a shelter utilized by Russian troops, the Ukrainian soldiers presented them with the opportunity to lay down their arms. However, the Russians declined to surrender. As a result, a confrontation ensued, during which one Russian soldier was killed and three others were apprehended alive. In addition to the human captives, Ukrainian forces also seized enemy weapons, communications equipment, and documents from the battlefield.

Earlier on August 4, Special Operations Forces troops located and apprehended two Russian soldiers who were hiding in prepared shelters. The Russian soldiers were startled upon waking up and finding Ukrainian troops pointing their weapons at them. In July, the 225th Separate Assault Regiment announced that they had captured 64 Russian soldiers who had attempted to infiltrate behind Ukrainian positions in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
