Near Pavlivka in the Zaporizhzhia direction, Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers captured eleven Russian soldiers in a week, thwarting yet another attempt by the enemy to create propaganda content.

Soldiers of the 17th Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine captured 11 Russian soldiers near the village of Pavlivka in the Zaporizhzhia direction. This was reported by the press service of the corps.

According to the military, eleven Russians were captured as a result of a week's work. The operation was carried out by units of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of Transcarpathia, which operates as part of the 17th Army Corps, together with their comrades from one of the units of the 253rd Assault Regiment.

The corps notes that Russian troops continue to try to create so-called victorious content for propaganda. At the same time, the real situation on the battlefield repeatedly destroys these plans. Another attempt by the occupiers to shoot a promotional video ended predictably with their capture.

The Ukrainian military emphasises that drones and reconnaissance are constantly monitoring the enemy's actions. Therefore, any attempts to advance or stage filming end in the same way. Some Russian soldiers flee, some surrender, and some disappear from the battlefield.
