Ukrainian defenders seize enemy APC with laptops and money stolen by Russians from local residents

The Ukrainian servicemen of the 128th Separate Mountain Zakarpattia Brigade have seized a trophy armored personnel carrier (APC) and found laptops and money stolen from local residents inside.

The relevant statement was made by the 128th Separate Mountain Zakarpattia Brigade on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“During a battle with the Russian army, the attackers of the 128th Separate Mountain Zakarpattia Brigade seized a trophy APC, whose crew fled after the wheels of the vehicle were damaged with grenades. Several laptops and hryvnia banknotes were found inside,” the report states.

The laptops were recognized by local residents in the village, near which the battle was taking place. According to them, Russian soldiers took their household appliances, money, clothing and food. The Russian military also searched the abandoned houses (whose owners fled from the hostilities area) for valuable items and alcoholic beverages. Russians took carpets and mattresses, canned food from cellars, even the curtains from windows.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting a war. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching missile and air strikes on residential areas in Ukrainian cities and villages, killing civilians.
