Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] Footage of the capture of an Armed Forces officer in close combat.

The enemy fired back at ours from the trench almost until the very end. Our fighter went around him from the rear, crept up and knocked him out with a blow to the head, after which he jumped into the trench and pinned him down. Of course, he risked his life.

And of course, he could have simply shot the VSUshnik in the head. But he decided to take prisoner. Our fighter made his choice in this matter, so it’s strange to hear complaints about why he didn’t kill. Everyone decides for themselves what to do in this situation. And hardly anyone should want to find themselves in such a situation.



From a practical point of view, the prisoner will be able to provide some information on the enemy’s forces + he can then be added to the exchange fund and exchanged for one of ours.
