Ukraine has reportedly captured hundreds of Russian soldiers in a further major blow to Vladimir Putin's army.

New video images posted by Ukraine's army appear to show Russian prisoners of war captured during the incursion.
The prisoners include troops from Russia’s 225th Assault Brigade, as well as FSB border guards.
One captured Russian identified himself as 22-year-old Danil Kolesnikov from the Belgorod region.
In a video clip of his interrogation, the soldier said he served in the 488th regiment on the border in the Kursk-Sudzha area.
He was captured early on after Ukrainian troops crossed into Russia on Tuesday.
The soldier told his captors that the regiment's commanders had abandoned them and that "they will die, they will die".
Another video shows around 40 Russians being loaded onto trucks, after which they were taken to Ukraine.
Some reports claim that as many as 300 Russian servicemen had been detained by Ukraine's army.

Former Afghan Pres. Ashraf Ghani, who fled and abandoned his country to the Taliban in August 2021 is now a very bad memory.
Ukraine's Pres. Zelenskyy was offered the same escape in February 2022 but famously chose to stand and fight instead.
Zelenskyy will be remembered forever as a heroic example of courage in the face of overwhelming military odds and relentless pro-Russian propaganda.
