Only one captured occupier survived.

Ukrainian fighter Vladimir Aleksandrov, who was captured by the Russians near Konstantinovka, managed to convince two occupants to surrender to the Ukrainians. This case was told by journalist Andrey Tsaplienko in his telegram channel.

"The hero of this story deserves an award. In the area of Konstantinovka, the occupants wounded the fighter Vladimir Alexandrov and took him prisoner. There was no contact with Volodya for a long time. While the fighter was considered missing, he managed to convince two occupants to surrender to the Ukrainians. Unfortunately, only one of the enemy storm troopers survived, who decided to lay down their arms," he wrote.

A few days ago, he said, it became known that Aleksandrov, though wounded, was alive and trying to crawl with the prisoner to his own.

"Under any circumstances, save the hero," the command of the 11th Corps decided. The operation was led by the deputy commander of the 11th AK Pavel Fedosenko. And today Volodya managed to pull out," Tsaplienko noted.

He added that it is not for nothing that he has such an eloquent call sign as "Positive" and showed a photo of Colonel Fedosenko embracing the wounded hero at the evacuation point. Tsaplienko also published a video of a Russian prisoner whom Aleksandrov had persuaded to surrender.
