Saldo announced the capture of a group of Ukrainian soldiers

In the Kherson region, the Russian military captured a group of eight Ukrainian soldiers, they were armed, the acting governor of the region, Vladimir Saldo, reported in his Telegram channel.

“Our military captured a large Ukrainian armed group of eight militants on the left bank. This is happening more and more often now,” wrote He.

According to Saldo, many fighting on the side of Ukraine are “gradually beginning to realize” that their lives “mean nothing” to military commanders and politicians. The acting governor recalled how recently one of the Ukrainian military commissars provided data according to which 10% of those mobilized last fall remained in service.

“The rest simply served as cannon fodder. The probability of dying or becoming crippled is 90%. But those who surrendered will save their lives. This is a real solution,” added Saldo.
