Quote: “Jetta is one of the SOF’s many great missions, which has up until recently fallen under the formal classification of ‘details are withheld for operational security reasons’.
We are continuing to reveal the details of the operations that have so far remained in the shadows.”
Details: The special operation in question took place in the winter of 2023. The fighting near Bakhmut was in full swing, and Wagner mercenaries were treated as cannon fodder deployed to assault Ukrainian positions.
At one point, a Wagner unit attempted to take a favourable position near Klishchiivka and create a springboard for the advance of additional Russian forces. They advanced quickly, in small groups. The Special Operations Forces responded to their advance.
The SOF planned its operation in less than a day, and the operation itself lasted about three hours. The Russians lost 12 soldiers as a result of the SOF operation.
In the video shared today, Ukrainian fighters explain why several Wagner mercenaries were able to escape, how the Russian prisoners of war were provided with medical care, and what valuable information the Ukrainian forces learned from the captured Russians.
The SOF soldiers also shared what motivates them in the fight against the Russian aggressor.
