Border guards showed how they captured the first Russian occupiers

Ukrainian border guards have told how they captured the first Russian invaders during a full-scale attack by the Russian Federation two years ago. The corresponding video was posted by the Ukrainian State Border Service in its Telegram channel.

The border guards took the first occupants captive in the morning of 24 February 2022. In the town of Schastye, where street battles were already taking place, a group of fighters of the Lugansk detachment under the leadership of Hero of Ukraine Dmitry Kushnir captured four occupants," the service said.

According to the border guards, they then shot down an enemy BMP with RPG-17. However, the mechanic-driver survived and tried to join the crew of another BMP.

But together with 3 or 3 occupants from the surviving vehicle, he was also captured.

All of them are local collaborators who joined the occupation troops," the GNSU said.

We shall remind you that the invasion started around 3:40 when the first column of Russian tanks entered the territory of Luhansk Region. In Donbas, the enemy attacked Volnovakha, Mariupol and Schastye.
