On the Kupiansk direction, Ukrainian military forces achieved a significant victory by capturing a group of Russian infantry soldiers who were attempting to consolidate their positions within the zone of Ukrainian defenders’ responsibility
The information about this successful operation was confirmed by the Commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, Oleksandr Pivnenko, who emphasized that the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 15th Separate National Guard Brigade "Kara-Dag" acted quickly and decisively. According to Pivnenko, the capture occurred as a result of reconnaissance efforts that had beforehand identified the location of the enemy group using unmanned aerial vehicles. These drones provided precise information, allowing Ukrainian fighters to accurately assess the situation and prepare for the operation. Upon seeing that their position had been exposed and unwilling to risk the lives of their compatriots, the occupants voluntarily surrendered. This confirms the high level of training and discipline of the Ukrainian defense forces, as well as the effectiveness of modern reconnaissance tools on the battlefield. It should be noted that this defeat of the Russians was another success in a series of Ukrainian military accomplishments within the ongoing systematic efforts in the eastern part of the country. According to Ukrainian military reports, just a few days earlier, on April 21, Ukrainian paratroopers, along with neighboring units, achieved an important victory by capturing nine Russian soldiers in the Kursk region. These events demonstrate the high level of preparedness of Ukrainian forces and enhance their combat readiness in the fight against occupation troops. No operation on the front line goes unnoticed by Ukrainian analysts and the public, as each victory reinforces confidence in Ukraine’s ability to defend its land and stop the enemy. At the same time, Ukrainian defenders emphasize that hostilities continue, and each day brings the country closer to the end of the large-scale war with Russia and the return of peace and stability to the region.
