843-46.🇷🇺71st Motor Rifle Regt POWs captured west of Robotyne, late DEC.
An interview with the taller POW in tweet 839.
He claims that around the position where he was captured he saw at least "2 platoons" of KIA Russians. Also says he was fooled by his commanders and doesn't know what is he was doing there.
Note other later media suggests that he has since been placed under SBU investigation as he may be originally a Ukrainian citizen ( t.me/operativnoZSU/134275 ).

An interview with the 3rd POW from right in tweet 839.
Their task was to entrench and await reinforcements. None came. On the 3rd-day shooting started, UAF arrived and they surrendered.
Originally a 30th Brigade mobik, he was transferred to the 71st due to a conflict with another soldier. He tells a lot about how those who refuse orders are punished in many ways.

🇺🇦65th Mechanised Bde reported capturing a 2nd group of six POWs from the 71st shortly before the 6 shown in tweet 838-46. I believe its these 6 facing each other (left of the film), reportedly captured near Robotyne (interviews to follow).
