"The success of Ukrainian soldiers is important and deserves the highest state awards. In the Chernihiv region, a group of the Russian Armed Forces Special Operations Forces from the Senezh Special Forces Centre was destroyed," the statement said.
According to the journalist, five Russian officers were killed on the spot.
"Senezh is staffed by fully qualified officers, the elite of the elite of the Russian Armed Forces. All five bodies remained at the battlefield, no help came to them. Valuable trophies were taken," Butusov said.
As the journalist noted, Russian special forces usually cross the border only after thorough reconnaissance, using drones and electronic intelligence, and no Russian sabotage group has ever been destroyed in its entirety.
"The enemy is experienced, has an advantage in intelligence means, has a high level of individual training, is well camouflaged, thinks over the routes of its operations and acts flexibly. In order to catch saboteurs entering Ukraine, it is necessary to organise high-quality intelligence, data analysis, covertly organise an ambush or observation post on the likely routes, train the fighters well, provide them with equipment for night and day combat with special forces, hunt the enemy for a long time without hoping for instant success, acting constantly in secret, and at the same time maintaining combat capability and readiness for instant contact. It was hard, painstaking and incredibly energy-consuming work, but the Ukrainian soldiers did it, and for the first time the enemy managed to inflict heavy losses," Butusov writes.
He added that this feat of the Ukrainian soldiers should be celebrated as a model of proper organisation of counter-sabotage operations, and the experience should be shared across the border.
