Ukrainian forces captured dozens of Russian troops in Kharkiv Oblast on Sunday, a military official said, amid reports Kyiv has regained some ground in the embattled region.

Some 60 Russian soldiers were captured near the war-ravaged town of Vovchansk, where fierce battles are ongoing, Nazar Voloshin, a spokesman for Ukraine's Khortytsia operational-strategic group told local publication Liga.net.

Julian Röpcke, an open data analyst with the publication Bild, shared footage on X (formerly Twitter) that first circulated on Telegram, which purportedly shows the moment the Russian troops were captured.

Nice try, but you heroes were repulsed from Paraskoviivka and are now stuck in ongoing battles. There tiny foothold in one building was hit by glide bombs and the building and troops destroyed.

At this rate they’ll capture Lviv in only 40 years or so, after losing 200 million Russians.... if there were 200 million Russians.
