The Ukrainian military claimed on Saturday to have captured the commanders and chief of staff of Russia’s tank battalion, 35th Motor Rifle Brigade, and provided photo evidence.

Russian Major Schetkin Leonid Petrovich, along with his photo identification, military insignia and other personal belongings were photographed in Ukrainian custody and the photos shared by Ukraine’s Operational Command North.

The Ukrainian military said Petrovich was captured after Ukrainian forces attacked a Russian tank unit, in which Petrovich “miraculously survived.”

The capture marks the highest-ranking Russian forces captured by Ukraine so far.

Video shared to social media by the Ukrainian military shows numerous charred tanks in the aftermath of an attack.

On Thursday, the top Ukrainian commander wrote in a statement that “Russian invaders” from Russia’s 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade surrendered to “Ukrainian defenders.”

“Russian invaders, facing the total resistance of Ukrainian defenders, surrender themselves to captivity. Under Chernihiv, a whole intelligence unit of 74 motorcycle rifle brigade surrendered,” the Ukrainian commander stated, adding that the Russian soldiers “thought they would return home” and that they were “collecting information” instead of fighting.

During a press briefing, Ukraine Ambassador Markarova also confirmed the surrender, saying the Russian troops “didn’t know that they were brought to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians. That they thought they were doing something else there.”

As of Saturday, Ukraine said they’d imprisoned 200 Russian troops, and imprisoned 200, saying the Russian troops didn’t expect Ukraine to put up a fight, so they surrendered.

Ukraine claimed on Sunday that in the first three days of battle, it killed 4,300 Russian forces, destroyed 27 airplanes, 26 helicopters, 146 tanks, 706 armored vehicles, and more.

As of Saturday, Ukraine’s health minister also claimed that 198 Ukrainians were killed, including three children, by invading Russian forces, and another 1,000 people were wounded.

U.N. officials said that more than 150,000 Ukrainians had fled Ukraine, and an estimated 4 million could evacuate if the fighting continues.

On Saturday, the U.S. Department of Defense said in the previous 24 hours, it had observed “more than 250 Russian missile launches, mostly short-range ballistic missiles.” Additionally, it said more than half of Russia’s 150,000 troops amassed around Ukraine had been mobilized inside Ukraine, with the rest still waiting along its borders.

On Friday, President Joe Biden authorized $350 million worth of U.S. weaponry to Ukraine, including anti-armor, small arms, various munitions, body armor and similar equipment. With the latest installment, the U.S. has now provided Ukraine with $1 billion in security assistance over the past year alone.

Germany also provided anti-tank grenade launchers and stinger missiles to Ukraine over the weekend.

Can't you show us yourself

Putin be massaging his ego and pride at the expense of human lives.

Hopefully, the cease fire meeting ends well and Russia isn't requesting a head and an arm from Ukraine.

*Three things every Christian should know about Putin, Ukraine and the coming war in Europe*

1. Ukraine is one of the most Christian countries in Europe — and Christians there urgently need our prayers.

Of the country’s 43 million citizens, 78% identify as members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, up from 39% in 1991.

About 10% identify as Roman Catholics.

Only 2% are Evangelical Christians, yet Evangelicals play an influential role in Ukrainian government and society.

In 2021, Christianity Today reported that “more than 500 evangelicals were elected to all levels of Government. One even heads a major city—Rivne, in western Ukraine—as mayor.”

“Ukraine has become the epicenter of a global spiritual battle,” Pavel Unguryan, coordinator of Ukraine’s National Prayer Breakfast, told Christianity Today.

“Today, as never before, our nation needs unity, peace, and the authority of God’s Word.”

Let’s be praying faithfully and without ceasing for the Church in Ukraine to be brave and bold in their witness for Christ.

2. Some 200,000 Jews still live in Ukraine — and they urgently need our prayers, too.

Today, upwards of 500,000 Israelis are from Ukraine, or have Ukrainian roots.

Please pray for the Ukrainian Jewish community to be safe and courageous, and for them all to be able to safely leave and come to Israel as new citizens soon.

3. Don't ever be fooled or deceived to think Putin is godless as he claims, he knows the Bloodsucking Demon god that he worships in secret, he tried to exterminate Christianity in Russia and many Christians were killed during the process. Putin never glorified the CREATOR of Huamnity, rather he dedicated his greatest war prowress to his god, naming the Nuke Satan. Now you know what Satan is once again aiming to do through Putin in Ukraine. If you think because you are safe here as a Christian, remember after the bloodthirsty Jihadists conquered the Christian Regions in the North, they headed straight for South. Freedom of Christians to worship the Only true CREATOR of Humanity is what Satan and his human tools are fighting everywhere to take away! JESUS Taught us One Christian for all and all Christians for one! Until we start applying this... Read John 13:35

Don't mind the deluded puppets

They will see Russia handed a defeat live on air.

Putin underestimated Ukrainians

They should cut his head immediately, it's casualty of war.

Before Putin will demand for his release

E

Good job

Putin, back OFF..... NOW!!!

Unnecessary deaths everywhere.

Peace is all we need in our world.
We truly hope this war ends soon.
Let's make Love, Not War.

temptnow:
They should cut his head immediately

They should cut his head and cook soup with it abi?
Na dem.........

Better stop talking like them, for your own good.
Our honest advice.

During a press briefing, Ukraine Ambassador Markarova also confirmed the surrender, saying the Russian troops “didn’t know that they were brought to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians. That they thought they were doing something else there.”

Does it not make you think of Saddam Hussein who was caught in a rat hole with American chocolate and pistol that he could not kill himself with before capture?
All his saber-rattling mother of all wars evaporated in thin air.
Dictators are such cowards finally.
Is Putin next

imagine the mighty red army being humbled

Putin has been demystified

PROPAGANDA
