Ukraine's National Guard takes Chechen commander captive
National Guard soldiers captured a Russian commander from Chechnya on July 18, guard spokesman Colonel Mykola Urshalovych said during a briefing on July 20.
"Soldiers of
an assault group of the 15th Operational Brigade captured a company commander
of the 70th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment stationed in the city of Shali,
Chechen Republic," Urshalovych reported.
The captured
commander described the low morale of Russian personnel and their unwillingness
to perform combat tasks.
He was provided
with necessary medical care and passed over to join fellow prisoners of war. He
may be exchanged for Ukrainians held captive by Russia.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
