"Assault units of the Guards Airborne Assault Don Cossack Regiment from Feodosia seized an important Ukrainian stronghold in the Kursk border region. Artillery provided support to the assault troops by suppressing enemy fire before the paratroopers launched their attack on the Ukrainian position," the ministry stated.
"Several Ukrainian servicemen were taken prisoner, while two foreign-made infantry fighting vehicles, along with a large stockpile of small arms and ammunition, were captured as trophies," the Defense Ministry added.
A soldier with the call sign "Stitch" recounted that four Ukrainian troops surrendered.
"As we advanced on the position, we were under heavy enemy fire. Mortars were hitting us. We overcame our fear and moved in. Four Ukrainians survived and surrendered — we took them as prisoners. They were mobilized Ukrainians. They told us they were picked up off the streets and sent to fight," the fighter said.
The capture of the stronghold allowed Russian units to advance further, pushing enemy forces out of the Kursk border area .
In early March, Russian forces launched a large-scale offensive in the Kursk region, liberating 30 settlements within a week, including the district's center — the city of Sudzha.
