Ukrainian officials reported that personnel from the brigade were engaged in combat with Ukrainian paratroopers, resulting in significant casualties among Russian troops.

The destruction of the brigade occurred near the village of Sudzha, which Ukrainian forces reportedly seized during their offensive into Russian territory.

Kyiv’s 95th Airborne Assault Brigade took credit for the operation, stating it had “brutally avenged all the innocent victims of Russian aggression.”

Footage and images of dead Russian soldiers from the battle has been circulating online, though their authenticity has not been independently verified. The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet commented on the reports.

The Kursk region has seen intensified fighting in recent weeks, with Ukrainian forces staging multiple incursions since August, reportedly gaining control of hundreds of square miles of territory.

Russia’s 155th Marine Brigade has been linked to other controversial incidents during the conflict, including a widely shared video purportedly showing a soldier standing beside the severed head of a Ukrainian combatant. Ukraine’s prosecutor-general has opened an investigation into the incident.

UKRAINIAN FORCES HAVE REPORTEDLY DESTROYED A UNIT OF RUSSIAN TROOPS ACCUSED OF COMMITTING WAR CRIMES DURING THE ONGOING CONFLICT.

TROOPS WERE MEMBERS OF THE 155TH MARINE BRIGADE, PART OF RUSSIA’S PACIFIC FLEET, THAT HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN OPERATIONS IN THE WEST OF THE KURSK OBLAST, WHERE UKRAINE HAS MADE ADVANCES SINCE AUGUST 6, re-CAPTURING SIGNIFICANT TERRITORY.

THE BRIGADE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF EXECUTING UKRAINIAN PRISONERS OF WAR, AND FOOTAGE RELEASED BY UKRAINIAN AUTHORITIES ALLEGEDLY SHOWS RUSSIAN TROOPS ORDERING CAPTURED UKRAINIANS TO LIE DOWN BEFORE EXECUTING THEM. THIS ISN’T THEIR FIRST TIME BEING ACCUSED OF WAR CRIMES EITHER.

IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT, UKRAINE’S PROSECUTOR-GENERAL OPENED AN INVESTIGATION AFTER A VIDEO SURFACED IN AUGUST SHOWING A RUSSIAN SOLDIER STANDING NEXT TO A SEVERED HEAD, REPORTEDLY BELONGING TO A UKRAINIAN SOLDIER.

UKRAINE’S 95TH AIRBORNE ASSAULT BRIGADE CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE RUSSIAN UNIT, STATING THAT IT HAD “AVENGED THE INNOCENT VICTIMS OF RUSSIAN AGGRESSION.”

IMAGES SHARED BY THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY SHOW GRAPHIC SCENES OF DEAD RUSSIAN SOLDIERS, THOUGH THESE IMAGES HAVE YET TO BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BRIGADE IS PART OF A BROADER EFFORT BY UKRAINIAN FORCES TO RECLAIM OCCUPIED TERRITORY AND PUSH BACK AGAINST RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN KEY STRATEGIC AREAS.
