The ‘Kedr’ reconnaissance group of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine carried out a special operation in the village of Dementiivka, Derhachi district, Kharkiv region. A large unit of the rashists, who lived in destroyed buildings, was discovered.

Some 36 occupiers were destroyed. Many rashists were wounded.

Later, ‘Kedr’ and units of the local territorial defence forces and the National Guard conducted a series of combat clashes and forced the enemy to withdraw from their positions, despite the significant superiority in power. As a result of the operation, enemy equipment was captured and a wounded platoon commander of the enemy’s subversive-reconnaissance group was taken prisoner. The platoon commander is Stanislav Trutniev, a native of the Zaporizhzhia region, born in 1989. He is a serviceman of the 140th special forces detachment for combating underwater subversive forces and means of the Northern Fleet of the russian Navy (military unit 69068, Vidiayevo, Murmansk region). Three years ago, he was seconded to a grouping of the russian armed forces in Syria.

He was given first aid directly on the battlefield. He is currently being in one of the Ukrainian medical institutions.
