In the Zaporizhzhia direction, Ukrainian soldiers captured a Russian soldier mobilised from among prisoners. Common Soldier German Koniakhin, born in 1970, a native of Bataysk, Rostov region, surrendered voluntarily after reading a leaflet dropped by a Ukrainian drone.
According to the prisoner, he kept the postcard for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to escape from the unit to avoid death. He said that the Storm V command mocked soldiers, engaged in corruption, forced them to buy their own equipment and sent the wounded and sick to the front line without proper medical care.
