The fighters had to carry out orders, so they immediately adapted their tactics to the task of secretly holding positions, entering into battle when necessary.

Vladislav Stotsky, a fighter from the Svoboda battalion of the 4th BROP NGU Rubezh, commanded a position at the Pincher strongpoint from July 10 to September 16, while being completely surrounded.

During another enemy attack, neighboring units had to retreat, but the high command gave the order to the Freedom battalion to hold out to the last, he said in an interview .

The fighters had to follow orders, so they immediately adapted their tactics to the task of covertly holding positions, engaging in combat when necessary. Food and water were delivered by drones. The firepower of the Svoboda battalion and the adjacent K-2 battalion of the 54th separate mechanized brigade helped the guys repel assaults and equipment rolls.

According to him, the last massive attack by the Russians was on September 16, when they used 2 tanks, 2 MT-LBs and an infantry fighting vehicle with a bunch of infantry. Despite the enemy’s advantage in the number of infantry and firepower, the attack was repelled. After that, the position received an order to break through the encirclement to its own.

Of the eight fighters, seven managed to break out of the encirclement, and one soldier died. He also noted that none of the fighters had combat experience before 2022.

  1. Ukrainian intelligence intercepts Russian command orders on captured soldiers

    Ukrainian intelligence intercepted a conversation between Russian military commanders. In the conversation, the commander ordered the Russian soldiers to kill Ukrainian prisoners of war, according to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

    In a radio interception, commanders of the Russian army order their subordinates to commit a war crime, executing a prisoner.

    This is further documented evidence of the Russian army’s deliberate genocidal policy in the war against Ukraine.

    Additionally, the interception confirms the serious injury of a Russian soldier with the call sign Groza. Specifically, another soldier with the call sign Grif, who was in the same group as Groza, was ordered to apply a tourniquet, administer painkillers, take up a position, and continue firing.

    Executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war

    Recently, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies have reported several cases of executions of Ukrainian soldiers taken prisoner by Russian forces. On November 5, the Office of the Prosecutor General announced the execution of six Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Pokrovsk direction.

    However, the most massive execution is the killing of 16 Ukrainian defenders by Russian soldiers in the Pokrovsk direction.

    • In the face of constant and massive war crimes, the UN, AI, OSCE, PACE, the EU, NATO, and the Vatican are shouting protests in utter silence.
