The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday the liberation of two paratroopers who had been hiding in occupied territory for a year and a half. It was said that the two men had been taken to safety as part of a special operation by the Ukrainian navy and military intelligence.
The two are said to have taken part in battles in the unspecified area. After they were injured, they could not leave. According to reports, they were hidden by locals and thus escaped captivity or even death.
“Evacuation plan drawn up within a very short time”
Only a few weeks ago, the GUR’s military intelligence was able to locate the two army members. “An evacuation plan was drawn up within a very short time,” the Ministry of Defense emphasizes on its Facebook page. The elite unit “Engel” led the way.
According to the Secret Service’s own statements, there was even more success on another front. This is how they managed to persuade a Russian officer to defect. The GUR announced this at a press conference on Saturday. Danil Alfyorov, who was also present at the press conference and explained his motives, said he convinced 11 other comrades to surrender to the Ukrainian forces. However, none of this information could be independently verified.
