"The Russian occupiers, who have met total resistance from the Ukrainian defenders, surrender. An entire reconnaissance platoon of the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade has surrendered near Chernihiv," he wrote.
Zaluzhny quoted Corporal Konstantin Sergeevich Buinichev of the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade from the Kemerovo region as saying that the Russian soldiers were on an exercise in Yelena. They learned about the offensive in Ukraine on Wednesday, although they thought they were returning home.
"Nobody thought we would kill. We didn't go to war, we were gathering information," the Russian spy said.
