They confessed to committing war crimes.

The Ukrainians captured elite Russian intelligence officers in the Toretsk direction. The Telegram channel of the Azov 12th Special Forces Brigade reported this.

It is noted that five Russian occupiers were captured by infantrymen of the 2nd Azov Battalion. Moreover, the Russians turned out to be not ordinary "mobilized" or "convicts", but experienced intelligence officers with medals. They resisted the Ukrainian defenders for several days until the commander of the Russians was eliminated. Then his wards chose life and surrendered.

Later, on camera, the prisoners said that before surrendering, they called artillery fire on themselves, but it began shooting only after they had already surrendered to the Azov fighters.

On camera, the Russians also said that they expected to be tortured in captivity, but nothing like that happened to them. Except that the Ukrainian fighters swore at them.

“Yes, the guys are angry, of course. Another incident happened there, when some guys from the Russian side brazenly shot the guys who were surrendering. In general, I understood their anger. But even despite this, they did nothing to us at all. Yes, of course, a few words... Who are we to them? Occupiers, that’s it. Right? Right! I think so too,” said one of the prisoners.

Already in captivity, the occupiers also confessed to committing war crimes, in particular, executing civilians and Ukrainian prisoners.

“The Ninth gave us the order to shoot all civilians. This was still Group “B”. It existed with us. It can “zero” us freely. We refused the order – they zeroed us out. Well, the "Ukhanovites" are allies - they have orders to kill everyone in a row. If there is a civilian male in civilian clothes - that's it, kill the "ukrop" [rude about the Ukrainians - Ed.] said another captured Russian.
