A reconnaissance commander with the call sign Khariton from a unit of the 25th Combined Arms Army of the Western Group reported an unusual incident on the line of contact. According to him, a Ukrainian serviceman accidentally stumbled upon Russian positions while trying to get matches for household needs.
According to the officer, a Ukrainian soldier approached a Russian observation post. After a brief exchange, during which he requested fire, both sides realized their mistake. When the guest attempted to leave, Russian soldiers gently stopped him, informing him that the war was over for him.
Khariton clarified that this incident occurred back in 2023. Since then, the unit has continued the practice of capturing Ukrainian soldiers, including those wounded and abandoned by their own comrades.
