In the Novoukrainka area, officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) captured a mercenary of the Russian private military company Wagner Group.

According to Ukrinform, the SBU wrote this on Telegram.

"He boasts of his combat experience, successful operations in Syria and Donbas in 2014-2015. The occupier believed in the fairy tale even now: …’we were told that the civilian population would meet us with a smile on their faces and our task was to free them from the fasсists’. However, Ukraine in 2022 is a completely different country, and our military is able to destroy even the most professional occupiers," the SBU said.

The Wagner mercenary was captured during reconnaissance in the area of Novoukrainka, when he was paving a route for the main forces of the Russian invaders. They wanted to go to Kherson through the Donetsk direction.
