Four Russian prisoners escaped from custody in Kramatorsk: what is known

On Monday, 14 July, four prisoners from the Russian occupation forces escaped from a convoy in Kramatorsk in Donetsk Region. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to sources in the law-enforcement agencies.

According to preliminary information, the fugitives may be hiding in the private sector on the outskirts of the city and may try to take possession of vehicles to continue their movement.

The search for the captives is being carried out by officers of the Kramatorsk district police department. In case of detection of suspicious persons, citizens are asked to immediately report to the duty police department by phone +38 (050) 988 05 93.

Earlier, the Ukrainian military regularly reported about the capture of Russian soldiers. In particular, the paratroopers of the AFU in the Kursk direction captured ten Russian soldiers, and fighters of the Special Operations Forces captured several dozen marines from the 810th brigade of the Russian Federation - just on the day of the celebration of Marine Corps Day in Russia.

Earlier Socialportal wrote about the story of Ukrainian human rights defender Maxim Butkevich, who spent more than two years in Russian captivity. Maksym was sentenced to 13 years in the Russian Federation on a trumped-up case, which claimed that he was an extremist who ran a detachment of far-right radicals. These charges shocked everyone who knew Maksim. He was a human rights activist for decades, co-founder of the organisation Without Borders, and one of the few people in Ukraine who cared about the fate of asylum seekers, refugees, and foreign students who faced arbitrariness, rudeness, and intolerance. He also helped political refugees stemming from authoritarian regimes, primarily Putin's.
