Captain Shelomentsev led a group of Russian fighters out of an AFU encirclement

Warrant Officer Zarina Konnova rendered first aid to wounded soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces (AF) in the zone of special military operation (SMO). On Tuesday, December 10, the Russian Defense Ministry told about new feats of Russian servicemen.

Konnova repeatedly helped wounded soldiers at the unit's sanitary evacuation point, despite the danger of coming under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The warrant officer went to the casualty evacuation points, helped the servicemen under continuous enemy fire in the field, and then ensured their transportation to a safe place for further medical care.

The agency also noted the courage and determination of Captain Andrei Shelomentsev. A group of Russian fighters got into an enemy encirclement, which became known to the headquarters, and Shelomentsev was tasked with taking the servicemen out of the encirclement. Together with a group of storm troopers, the captain conducted reconnaissance of the area, developed a breakthrough plan and led the fighters in the attack. They managed to break through a gap in the AFU fortifications and occupy an enemy stronghold, which allowed the Russian servicemen to be taken out of the encirclement.
