Translated from source:

The Russians were kicked out and the exchange fund was replenished. Work of the 3rd company of the 2nd mechanized battalion🇺🇦 3 OShBr in the direction of Bakhmut. Assault positions and close combat.

Losses on the part of the Russians are 12 - 200, 2 - 300. And three more - for exchange. There could have been more prisoners, but only three accepted the offer to surrender and save their lives.

    I was expecting them to be executed on the spot for the perfidy. These Ukrainian soldiers have a lot of self-control

      Thats what I was thinking. Situations like this would definitely turn me into a war criminal.

          no it’s not…if you have the chance to take them down without force or violence you have to do it. That is what differs us from the russians.

              depends. As you see in the video thei got them after all, so no reason to execute them because they are POWs then.

                But that’s not the case here? Orc rolled a grenade out after saying he was surrendering. Pretty sure they don’t have to treat him as surrendering at that point, no?

                  well in the end he did surrender, so he is still a POW and should be treated like one. And before you downvote me again, I dont condone the grenade throw…I just imply to treat a POW like a POW if are able to catch him, even if he acted like a cunt.

                    So just keep walking up to the Ukranian lines saying you surrender until you get close enough to throw a grenade.

                    Throw grenade, then immediately resume surrendering. This one war hack will blow your mind!

                    After the Ukrainians took him in then of course he’s a POW. This is discussing the moments before then.

                    That grenade was a death warrant for every russian in that dugout, while they were still in that fighting position

                    He wasn’t a prisoner until he was disarmed and captured. Until then, he was an active combatant.

                    The fact he just used perfidy and then failed means the Ukrainians had valid excuse to make him and anyone else in that contact into cat meat. The fact they didn’t, speaks volumes to their high character and professionalism.

                Yeah they just threw a grenade. That means all suggestion of them surrendering was moot.

                The fact that they lived is thanks to the Ukrainians being extra nice.

      Aside from being the moral thing to do (albeit totally understandable if they hadn’t)

      They know they are filming and doing it this way is good optics
