It is said that not a high-ranking Russian officer has been arrested since the Second World War. In Kharkiv, Ukrainian troops managed to capture Andrei Ivanovich Sychevoi. He tried to escape in a fake uniform.#Ukraine#RussianArmypic.twitter.com/sR222vXrev
Time will tell if its Gen. Andrei Sychevoi (Андрей Сычевой) that appears in the video. What i find intriguing is that 6 Ukrainian soldiers surround him & look at him as if he is the big fish, & they way he looks away from the camera (he surrendered after all)#lviv#khersonpic.twitter.com/1XoBrKkRry
这名被乌军俘虏的士兵来头不小,虽然绣有中校军徽,被认出身分其实是该国高阶将领。 (示意图,非本人/美联社)
近日乌军在东北部反攻持续传捷报,战役至今迈入第200天,总统泽伦斯基(Volodymyr Zelensky)昨日发表演说时还提到,已从俄军手中夺回哈尔科夫的伊久姆(Izyum)。此外,近日推特流传一张俄国高阶将领被捕的画面,堪称二战以来该国最高级别的被俘军官。
综合《新闻週刊》(Newsweek)、《基辅邮报》(KyivPost)报导,7日乌克兰社交媒体和独立新闻台都出现一张神似安德烈·赛切瓦(Andrei Sychevoi)的人,从截图可以看到,事发在关键后勤枢纽哈尔科夫境内城市巴拉克列亚(Balakliya),他双膝跪地、双手背后遭反绑,鼻樑上还残留打斗后的血迹,模样相当狼狈;据悉这名被乌军俘虏的士兵来头不小,身著俄军迷彩服虽然绣有中校军徽,事实并非如此,网友认出他是该国高阶将领,负责近半数部署乌国领土的部队,目前则担任西部部队指挥官。
正当接受乌军审问时他不发一语,画面遭人截图后在推特掀起热烈讨论,纷纷指认与俄军中将安德烈·赛切瓦长相不谋而合,真实身分并非中校。
军事分析师罗布(Rob Lee)也表示,“俄罗斯的社群网站已经指责安德烈中将,他是西部军团(West Group)的指挥官。”
若消息得到证实,这对乌克兰来说会是重大转折,因这堪称二次世界大战以来,俄罗斯最高阶的将领落入敌军手中。
