Ukrainian border guards captured three invaders. The Russians fell into the hands of the defenders of the Volyn detachment during an enemy assault on their positions near Novomykhailivka in the Donetsk region.

The State Border Guard Service provided more details about the captivity, Censor.NET reports.

"They turned out to be servicemen of the 10th Tank Regiment: a rifleman and two privates of the radiation, chemical and biological defence troops, who were supposed to cover the assault armoured group with a smoke screen," the border guards added.

According to border guards, all the prisoners were contractors. The occupiers said they were paid 200,000 rubles each for fighting in Ukraine.
