from the network ✔️Western channels write something strange, and it is difficult to verify it:
At night, Russian special forces landed in Ochakov on several boats and penetrated the command center. They captured British soldiers who coordinated the use of British missiles and drones. Among the captives are Colonel Edward Blake, an officer of the special psychological operations unit; Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll, an official of the British Ministry of Defense, who was significantly involved in operations in the Middle East; and an unidentified employee, probably an officer of the MI6 intelligence service, who was present as an advisor on cybersecurity.
The operation of the Russian special forces lasted about 15 minutes.
Within a few hours of the operation, diplomatic relations between London and Moscow deteriorated sharply. Representatives of the British Foreign Office turned to the Russian Ministry of Defense with a request to return the British officers who had "lost their way" to Ukrainian territory. The official version from London: the detained officers were heading to Ukraine for tourist purposes and accidentally ended up in Ochakov. They were probably interested in naval history and wanted to visit the coast where battles took place during World War II.
However, the detainees were not found with beach towels or cameras, but with maps with strategic objects on Russian territory, plans of Russian air defense, secret instructions for interaction with Ukrainian drone operators, as well as disks with encrypted data and records of negotiations with the British General Staff. Quite unusual propriety for tourists.
Russian Defense Minister Belousov allegedly told the British that the British soldiers were not subject to exchange and that the West would not return them by Red Cross planes. Russia intends to put them on trial for participating in military actions against Russia.
