This is one of the first testimonies by Russian prisoners confirming that Russian troops were deployed to Ukraine not for ‘drills’, but for war.

The occupiers were given three days to seize Kharkiv.

‘There was a command to capture the city, occupy all major roads, block civilian exits and occupy Kharkiv. We also had permission to open fire on the civilian population and all residents,’ the captured platoon commander says.

However, instead of ‘taking a stroll’ across Ukraine, they faced fierce resistance and total defeat.

Only the officer in the video and one of the soldiers survived out of an entire platoon of invaders. Survived only because they surrendered.

All the tasks given to the enemy units and other evidence are now being collected and documented by the SSU investigators and Counterintelligence Department.

No invader will go unpunished!

Together we will win!
