A stormtrooper with the call sign Tuzit captured nine militants hiding in a mine

A fighter of the 4th brigade of the South group of forces with the call sign Tuzit Odin captured nine militants during the storming of the Matrona Moskovskaya mine. On November 21, the military correspondent of Izvestia, Egor Kildibekov, was told about this by the commander of the rifle battalion with the call sign Bekh.

The Matrona Moskovskaya mine was an important fortified area of the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) between Dzerzhinsk (Ukrainian— Toretsk) and Konstantinovka. The commander-in-chief called this mine one of the most difficult tasks that the soldiers encountered on the way. There were a total of 20 opponents in the mine. The entire area was mined.

"His call sign is Ace. There is only one of our attack aircraft, and they (Ukrainian militants. – Ed.) did not open fire on him because they were afraid <...> Nine people came out, he captured them," said Bekh.

He explained that a Russian attack aircraft entered the mine alone against 14 militants, and for about 10 minutes threw pebbles at them, and then threw an anti-tank mine. As a result, the survivors surrendered to him.

A fighter with the call sign Stunted shared how for a month he sat across the wall from three hidden Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters and threw explosives at them.

"Six or seven meters away from me behind the wall. <...> He just threw, threw from morning until the afternoon. I went in, it was dark, it was not visible, there was just water. It was dark, charcoal, and he dived in there fully armored with a submachine gun. I took out the TNT from there, I took out six boxes, and it was the enemy's TNT. They said to surrender. No, I was silent," he said.

The stormtrooper clarified that the commanders train fighters to work covertly — to track the sky, look at their feet.

"The position was to enter, fortify behind the mine and hand over the birds to the enemy (UAV. - Ed.). <...> It flew in once, knocked down three logs from me, but I pushed them back in. Everything is fine. I didn't get burned, nothing," says a stormtrooper with the call sign Lefty.

Autumn leaflets: how a unit of Ukrainian Marines surrendered

The enemy was surrounded for two weeks without food at Dimitrov's and laid down his arms after seeing the Russian instructions for surrender.

On November 18, servicemen of the Center group of forces captured two Ukrainian servicemen disguised in civilian clothes in Krasnoarmeysk. The captured soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that they had been left without support, but during the search they found objects indicating looting. Looted items turned out to be in the duffel bags of the Ukrainian servicemen: household appliances, old turntables, screwdrivers, laptops.
