A former Ukrainian soldier, identified as Sergey Denisov, reportedly recounted his capture by Russian forces. He stated that he was carrying a Starlink device, which he was instructed to keep with him, when he entered a dugout seeking a power outlet and found Russian soldiers present.

Denisov mentioned that he did not have a phone or other communication devices, and his primary need was to find a power outlet for the Starlink device. He was invited into the dugout after asking if he could enter, only to discover Russian military personnel inside.
