- 1About 250 Russian troops surrender in northern Donbas operation●Russian troops surrendered to Ukraine as part of Operation Vivaldi in the northern Donbas. About 250 POWs.
Roughly 250 Russian soldiers have surrendered to Ukrainian forces in the northern Donbas as part of what Ukrainian military commentator Yuriy Ponomarenko calls Operation Vivaldi. If confirmed, the mass capitulation would be one of the larger POW takings of the war and a sign of mounting pressure on Russian positions in the sector. The claim is circulating widely on Russian-language channels, with debate over how the surrender unfolded and what it means for the front line.
