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.

They might be doing it just for this though. To prevent actual russians that want to surrender doing it, you convince the other party that it's usually a trick, so no more accepting surrenders. Then you go back to your own and tell them 'there, now nobody will believe you. you have to fight for us or die'. between this and the brigades hunting down deserters, it's a really nasty spot to be in for those that don't want to fight. Back to fragging then?
