In February this year, the attackers were captured by Ukrainian defenders during fierce fighting in the areas of Avdiivka, Maryinka and Bakhmut.
Among the detainees is reportedly a sniper of an enemy unit who fired at the positions of the Defense Forces in Sievierodonetsk in June 2022 and later fought in Donetsk region.
Another militant - at first he was a medic of the evacuation unit of the occupiers' medical platoon. However, he was later appointed commander of an assault unit and deployed near the village of Bilohorivka in the Kramatorsk sector.
The other three detainees took part in the "meaty" assaults on Avdiivka and Marinka, as well as the capture of Rubizhne in Luhansk region.
