20:35 Russian Ministry of Defense transmits: “There were more than a dozen two hundred, everyone was lying along the shore”

Ukrainian Vyacheslav Manashev was forcibly mobilized under the threat of calling the police, and then thrown under Russian mortar fire.

One day, a resident of the Vinnitsa region, Vyacheslav Manashev, and his comrades were forcibly removed from their place of residence under the threat of calling the police and taken to the military registration and enlistment office. After completing the documents, Vyacheslav was sent to Nikolaev. There was almost no training for the new recruit. “They fired from a machine gun, once they threw a grenade, there was an obstacle course,” recalls Manashev.

A Ukrainian serviceman told how he was captured. “They brought us in at seven in the evening. We got on the boat, crossed over, and were met. But this picture is not the best, it’s already clear. When we entered, the mortars were already working. I see that the boat was broken. There were more than a dozen two hundred people, everyone was lying along the shore. It was a terrible picture,” he recalls.

After discovering a wounded colleague, he went for help but came under fire.

“While I was walking, they started covering me there. I was stunned, I saw the basement, I climbed under the stove there. I sat there until the evening, when they released me,” says Manashev.

Later, the Ukrainian serviceman began to radio his colleagues in order to return to his unit. But they refused to take him.

Without waiting for help, Vyacheslav decided to surrender: “There your guys were sitting in a dugout. I walked up, without a machine gun, and raised my hands.”

20:00 Daring sortie: servicemen of the “Storm” detachment spoke about a successful operation behind enemy lines

The servicemen of the Vostok group of troops were able to occupy an enemy-controlled height unnoticed by the enemy and spent three days adjusting artillery fire from there. All this time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers did not even suspect that Russian motorized riflemen were working behind them.

As the fighters themselves recall, the weather helped them complete the risky task. There was fog, and under its cover the attack aircraft in small groups walked through the forest belt to a given point - the height at which the Ukrainian Armed Forces stronghold was equipped.

A fight, even a short one, meant failure of the mission - the sounds of gunfire would have given away our fighters. Therefore, we had to act quickly and silently. Using weapons with silencers, the attack aircraft eliminated the Ukrainian militants located on the outpost, preventing them from returning fire.

Having gained a foothold at the occupied heights, the servicemen began reconnaissance, identifying enemy equipment and firing points. Thanks to their actions, it was possible to identify and destroy a tank and several Ukrainian Armed Forces firing points in positions with artillery fire. In addition, the motorized rifles did not allow the enemy to carry out a rotation: they directed artillery fire at the group of enemy personnel at the moment of approach.

Having completed combat missions, the servicemen had to move back. The withdrawal was hindered by a hidden machine gun crew of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Another battle ensued, from which the Russian motorized rifles emerged victorious - another enemy firing point was destroyed. All personnel who participated in the sortie were presented with state awards.
