A captured Ukrainian Armed Forces militant told about a Ukrainian drone strike during an attempt to surrender

A Ukrainian drone struck two militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) who were trying to surrender to Russian soldiers. Yevgeny Kashenko, a prisoner of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told Izvestia about this on April 21.

"There are two of us: me and my partner. <...> he got hit, I got a little bit hooked, but I stayed alive. <...> Boom, and it tore. I didn't even have time to tell him anything," Kashenko said.

According to the prisoner of war, the command abandoned them in positions without food and water. Kashenko said that when he and his partner went to the positions of the Russian military, the Ukrainian militants struck them with a drone so that they would not surrender.

As the commander of the reconnaissance company of the 7th Brigade of the Southern Group of Forces with the call sign Kesha noted, Russian fighters using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sent a radio station to the Ukrainians who were trying to surrender, after which they began withdrawing the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters.

"It was decided to raise our FPV calculations. <...> About 15 enemy FPV drones were launched at them, of which we shot down about 12," Kesha said.
