Ukrainian special operations forces rescued a young deer from a dangerous area after encountering the animal during an operation near Russian troops, the Special Operations Forces Command said on Aug. 15.
The operation was carried out by troops from the 6th Ranger Regiment of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces, who infiltrated enemy positions on one sector of the front.
After locating a shelter used by Russian troops, the Ukrainian soldiers offered them a chance to surrender, but they refused.
In the ensuing clash, one Russian soldier was killed and three others were captured alive. Ukrainian troops also seized enemy weapons, communications equipment and documents.
