Translated from source:

The Russians were kicked out and the exchange fund was replenished. Work of the 3rd company of the 2nd mechanized battalion🇺🇦 3 OShBr in the direction of Bakhmut. Assault positions and close combat.

Losses on the part of the Russians are 12 - 200, 2 - 300. And three more - for exchange. There could have been more prisoners, but only three accepted the offer to surrender and save their lives.

Just another checkbox on ruzzian speedrun to break all the geneva convention rules. This week: Perfidy

Also something everyone else learned is not a good idea as perfidy results in the enemy assuming you are doing it and executing anyone wounded or actually trying to surrender. But Russia seems to have missed most of the memos documenting what actually did and didn't work during WW2 - like if you actually want someone to surrender, try not to rape, torture and kill all their civilians and soldiers, as that tends to make the rest of them angry.

You should listen to the Dan Carlin podcast series "Supernova in the east" about the Japanese war crimes - I believe similar train of thinking may be taking place in modern day Russia, leading to the same style of widespread war crimes.

I've been relistening to SNitE, and its such a good show. Dan does a good job talking about how horrible Imperial Japan treated prisoners, because just listening to the events make me mad to this day.

The stuff that Russian soldiers are doing are real good ways to make the opposing side to not take prisoners, just as the Australian and American forces tended to not take chances with Japanese wounded and even already dead.
