The commander of the company from the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade spoke about the effectiveness of mobilized prisoners on the battlefield.

Mobilized prisoners can be effective on the battlefield if carefully selected. This was stated in an interview with 'Novyny.LIVE' by the commander of the 3rd assault company of the 2nd assault battalion of the 3rd separate assault brigade with the call sign 'Vinni', as reported by 'Hlavkom'. According to him, the company has established a quality recruitment system that allows attracting motivated fighters.

There are many guys who want to serve with us. And this brings its results,' the commander noted.

He also emphasized that attracting former prisoners to the military can be effective if done with careful selection.

This really works, but only if proper selection is conducted. It is important to communicate with potential fighters, to learn what they were imprisoned for, what their life path is, and what their views are now. Practice has shown that such soldiers can be effective,' Vinni explained.

Furthermore, he talked about how the brigade supports the soldiers' motivation.

The first is constant communication with the soldiers. The second is the opportunity for career growth. In our brigade, every soldier can rise to command positions. For example, in my unit, there are soldiers who started as privates, and now one has become a company sergeant, and another is my deputy. When a person has prospects, they grow above themselves,' the commander concluded.

Earlier we reported that the soldiers of the 12th Special Operations Brigade 'Azov' captured 20 Russians in the Torske direction. This was reported by 'Hlavkom' citing the press service of 'Azov'.

They were lucky to survive. But the majority of their 'comrades' are still lying in the fields and thickets after unsuccessful assaults. Voluntarily surrendering is the only way for Russians to return from Ukraine alive and to be exchanged for Ukrainian defenders. In any other case, the soldiers of the 12th Special Operations Brigade 'Azov' will take care of the elimination of enemy targets in their direction,' the statement said.

We remind you that Ukrainian soldiers captured five Russian military personnel during a special operation at the front. One of them is likely to have a special status. Also, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd battalion of the 12th Special Operations Brigade 'Azov' captured three occupiers during a sweep in the Torske direction. One of the captives, 19-year-old Dmytro Yaptik, is a Nenets from a village on the Yamal Peninsula. This is one of the indigenous peoples of Northern Russia. He is small in number and is currently at risk of extinction.
