According to a soldier from the 60th Separate Motorized Rifle Battalion of the 51st Army of the Southern Military District of the Russian Armed Forces, known by the call sign «Prokaznik» Russian troops on the Krasnoarmeysk direction managed to break out of an encirclement by crossing an open field.

He explained that the group was preparing for an assault when they suddenly heard suspicious noises from behind. The Russian troops called out the password, but almost immediately, gunfire erupted from three different positions. It was at that moment that the soldiers realized they had been surrounded. «Prokaznik» mentioned that the Ukrainian forces had somehow managed to get behind them.

The Russian soldier shared that the enemy started digging trenches with their entrenching tools, and it became clear that they needed to act quickly before the Ukrainians fully fortified their position. He suggested an audacious plan to break free by crossing the open field, a decision that was unanimously agreed upon by the group.

This bold move caught the encircling Ukrainian forces by surprise, allowing the Russian assault team to escape the trap they had been in.
