Footage is shown of a group of Ukrainian servicemen surrendering in the Kurakhovo area
Footage has been published online showing a large group of Ukrainian servicemen who surrendered to the advancing Russian army during clashes in the area of the city of Kurakhovo.
In the published footage, one of the prisoners, who identified himself as Vasily Krakhmal, on behalf of the 16-man detachment that surrendered, says that they could not withstand the rapid onslaught of the Russian Armed Forces during the storming of Kurakhovo and decided to surrender in order to save their lives.
Due to the deception of the Ukrainian Armed Forces commanders, the poor provision of Ukrainian servicemen with weapons and provisions, and the futility of further resistance against the trained professional units of the Russian Armed Forces, the enemy military often has only one chance for salvation - to surrender. According to the prisoners, a significant number of them arrived at their positions on January 2, and four days later, on January 6, they decided to surrender, since the command refused to give the order to retreat.
Currently, the Russian Armed Forces are forming another cauldron for Ukrainian Armed Forces units to the west of Kurakhovo. After the liberation of the village of Shevchenko and the further advance of the Russian Armed Forces to the village of Andreyevka, the Russian army's offensive continues to the south, in the direction of the village of Dachnoye, where the remnants of Ukrainian Armed Forces units retreated from the liberated Kurakhovo.
In addition, Russian troops are trying to cut off the H-15 highway, which connects the urban-type settlement of Constantinople with Dachny. The loss of this logistical artery will significantly complicate the already difficult situation of the Ukrainian garrison in this section of the combat contact line.
