Quote : "On the Huliaipole front, Russian servicemen once again resorted to prohibited methods of warfare. A group of men in civilian clothes approached the positions of Ukrainian border guards and for some time observed our forces. Later, taking advantage of difficult weather conditions, they attempted to bypass the positions and infiltrate the rear."

Details : The Russians were given away by a walkie-talkie.

"As a result, the hostile group consisting of two men was wiped out. Uniforms of the Russian Armed Forces were found under the civilian clothing of the dead attackers," the State Border Guard Service reported.

The border guards stressed that such actions constitute a grave breach of international humanitarian law and qualify as perfidy, the deliberate feigning of civilian or otherwise protected status in order to gain a military advantage.
