These photos show Ukrainian soldiers after Russian capture. It was our most difficult shooting in the last six months. After meeting and talking with the boys, we could not recover from what we saw and heard for a week.

We publish these shots with the permission of the boys themselves. I remember how one of them told me: we must do everything so that this never happens again, with others.

But everything repeats itself, every day. Many more of our people remain in Russian captivity. And there is no end to it.

Some of these photos went to Switzerland for the Peace Summit, where the issue of exchanging all for all was raised. We hope that these documentary portraits of those who have passed through the worst hell will encourage our partners to act decisively, at least on this issue.

We cannot repeat what we heard from the boys. But these photos speak for themselves. And this despite the fact that by the time of our meeting, the boys had gained 10 kg of weight in a week at home. To understand what it is like to lose 40-50 kg of weight (that's how much they lost during captivity) - look at the pictures where the guys show their photos on the eve of captivity.

But what is important - they failed to break. And this was repeated by each of them: I was not hacked. We spoke with the doctors at the rehabilitation center where the boys were at the time of our meeting. According to them, most of those who have been captured recover over time. The first weeks on the native land are a state of euphoria from the realization that they survived. In such a case, in addition to really professional rehabilitators with an incredibly humane attitude towards the boys, professional psychologists also work with them.

It has already been said many times, but we will repeat it here one more time. The twenty-first century, the center of Europe, the age of cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence. And right here and now, the biggest genocide since the Second World War is taking place. These photos are proof of that.

💙 The StratCom of the Armed Forces of Ukraine prepared an infographic of the damage to the air defense systems of the Russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied Crimea over the past two months.

💥 The total number of individually affected air defense systems is about 15. In particular, air defense divisions in the S-300, S-350, and S-400 modifications are affected. Dozens of launchers of the specified systems, more than 15 radar stations, and more than 10 control points were destroyed.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to destroy the Russian occupiers and the day of the liberation of the Ukrainian Crimea is approaching!

Eastern direction.

For the first time, the Ukrainian military captured an enemy "turtle tank" and captured Russian tankers

✍️ In the Kramatorsk direction in the Klishchiivka area, soldiers of the 22nd separate mechanized brigade captured a Russian "turtle tank" and also captured its crew. It should be emphasized that this is the first known such case.

👉Thanks to the unit of unmanned systems, an enemy tank was detected in the area of the village of Klishchiivka. Drops were carried out by using BpAK on the tank. The stricken tank and the disoriented crew of the enemy, trying to escape, lost any opportunity to find the right direction to return to their positions. Thanks to the artillery of the brigade, the tank was stopped at one of the lines and the infantrymen from the mechanized battalion captured the crew together with the tank. During negotiations with the crew, the driver-mechanic hid inside with a grenade and tried to blow up the tank. But our infantrymen found strong arguments for the conviction that it is better to live than to die.

The first "Turtle" tank of the Russian invaders captured by the Ukrainians.

Soldiers of the 22nd OMBR "trophied" an antique T-62M, on top of which a whole shed of metal sheets was welded.

Under this shed was the Russian crew, which the Ukrainians captured along with the trophy.

The Ukrainian flag is already flying over the tank.

The Russians are actively sending old T-62M tanks to the front, produced by the Soviet industry in the amount of approximately 20,000 pieces.

Explosion in the area of occupied Yelenovka, Donetsk region. The OSINT researcher DefMon geolocated it as being directly near the railway track. As another researcher Blinzka saw, apparently a Russian anti-aircraft missile exploded during launch (the launcher itself is similar to the S-300 air defense system). One can assume a manufacturing defect, which repeatedly appears in the Russian anti-aircraft forces.
