Details : The joint operation to stop the Russian attempt to break through in Donetsk Oblast and advance towards the borders of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was conducted by the Russian Volunteer Corps, the Bratstvo unit from DIU’s Tymur Special Detachment, and soldiers from the 5th Separate Heavy Mechanised Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Fighters from the Russian Volunteer Corps captured 16 Russian service personnel during the assault and mop-up operations.

Some of the prisoners were "flag-bearers" who were supposed to film fake news reports about the "capture" of Ukrainian settlements, particularly the village of Andriivka-Klevtsove.

DIU has released a video of the operation but did not disclose exactly when it was conducted.
