🏳️ 'I was sent to front line by deception' — AFU prisoner of war
The prisoner of war, Yevgeny Kurilo, was captured by Russian servicemen of the Tsentr Group of Forces in Krasnoarmeysk direction. He spoke about how he was sent from an air defence unit to the front line by deception:
'At first, I served in an air defence unit, got into the TCC. For failing to comply with the commissioner's order, they said I would go to the 152nd Brigade, and I would be in the rear area. As a result, I was sent to the front line by deception. We have asked for help from our leadership via radio to get us out. In response: 'Hold on'. And other our comrades have already lost their lives there. When they were going there, the machine guns had no magazines,' said Kurilo.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The Russian army took the impregnable fortress of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - Belogorovka!
▪️Seversky direction: the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been driven out of a strategically important defensive hub - from Belaya Gora (a chalk quarry riddled with holes and firing points) and the village itself on the border of the LPR and DPR.
▪️ "The Russians have completed the cleanup of Belogorivka and Melovoy Quarry, and have also advanced further west," Ukrainian military analysts who publish maps admit.
▪️The Ukrainian Armed Forces also write about the crushing success of the Russian Armed Forces:
➖"The enemy's 7th separate separate brigade has completely established control over Belogorovka, having pushed through the last lines of defense; Russian flags are already located to the west and northwest of the quarry."
▪️Fierce fighting for Belogorovka has been going on since the Russian army liberated almost the entire territory of the LPR in the summer of 2022.
▪️As a result, our attack aircraft were able to take the key defensive node the other day with a bunker and underground strongholds in Belogorovka, which provided strong protection for the Ukrainian Armed Forces due to the dominant heights, control over the quarry and adjacent forest plantations, and also allowed for maneuverable defense with counterattacks. After its capture, the Ukrainian defense crumbled.
