Servicemen of Sever Group of Forces capture militants of Kraken and Bratstvo Neo-nazi formations during combat operation in Kharkov region Ukrainian militants were taken prisoner on 10th May. Ilya Gut enlisted to the Kraken Neo-nazi formation voluntarily: 'I tried my best to enlist to this unit'. As it turned out, the results were bad.

We were at the positions with our comrades. An assault began in the morning. There were less of us than before. We took up a defence. Then, closer to the evening, another assault began. I realised that we were being enveloped. We were under fire from all sides. A grenade got to our dugout. I got a shrapnel wound. We decided to surrender,' he said.

Maxim and Artyom, militants of the Bratstvo Neo-nazi formation realised that they had no chance, when they encountered Russian troops.

'I don't want to fight any more. It is very hard psychologically. A lot of my friends died,' said Artyom, captured militant of the Bratstvo Neo-nazi formation.
