Border guards repelled Russian assault in Pokrovsky direction and captured nine occupiers

Soldiers of the border commandant’s office of rapid response of the Chernihiv detachment of the State Border Service of Ukraine stopped the Russian offensive in the Pokrovsk direction and captured nine occupiers.

The press service of the State Tax Service of Ukraine reported this, having released a corresponding video.

The enemy was reported to have attempted to storm in small groups.

“The invaders rushed into battle, among them were both fanatical supporters of Kremlin propaganda and mercenaries fighting exclusively for money,” the military noted.

It is noted that on August 24, border guards repelled another assault and captured six Russians.

In addition, three more captors were taken captive a few days earlier. Among the captives are people from different regions: from the temporarily captured Donetsk region to Udmurtia and Ossetia.
