A dozen Russian prisoners of war sat stony-faced in a conference room of a Ukrainian news agency Saturday and described how they were captured after their armored columns were attacked. A lieutenant who fought in a Russian tank unit and spoke at the request of his Ukrainian abductors said he recently came under fire from an armed drone and shoulder-launched anti-tank missiles. At a makeshift Ukrainian military base in an abandoned building on the western edge of Kyiv, Ukrainian soldiers prepared for the kind of ambushes that took out Kovalensky's unit. The New York Times has a morning newsletter. Lieutenant Yevgeny Yarantsev said that his country's soldiers fight differently than the Russians. The troops under his command can sneak up on the Russian tanks and ambush them. Yarantsev, who fought with a volunteer group against Russia in eastern Ukraine, said they have a lot of anti-tank weapons. It is easier to fight in the city. Some of the few firsthand accounts of the fighting that have emerged in the 10-day war were given by the two young officers. The Russian was a prisoner of war and spoke under the watch of heavily armed Ukrainian security officials. The Ukrainian displayed weapons from the United States. The accounts of soldiers from both sides give a small glimpse of how the war is being fought. The Russian campaign to encircle and capture the capital has been slowed by the use of ambush tactics by the Ukrainians. A news conference was held to support the claim that it had captured a significant number of Russian soldiers. The prisoners blended woodenly phrased condemnations of their own country's leadership with genuine-sounding details of the conflict. According to the rules governing treatment of prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions, governments are supposed to protect them from being made into a public curiosity, a concept that is sometimes interpreted as not presenting them in any public setting. The exhausted Russian soldiers showed no outward signs of being mistreated. The prisoners' comments and the fact that they were captured supported descriptions by Western military analysts and governments of a Russian offensive that has suffered grave setbacks. The Russian army has superior numbers and equipment. The Russian army's column was attacked near the end of the day. I surrendered to local people after running into the forest. The sergeant and lower rank soldiers were not told where they were going until after crossing the border, according to the man. All the prisoners described being captured after their armored columns were ambushed on roads, accounts that supported Ukraine's assertions that its military had made good use of Western-supplied anti-tank weaponry, such as the U.S.-made Javelin missile. Logistical snarls and a lack of fuel are some of the more mundane problems that independent analysts have described for the Russian army. Yarantsev commanded a group of about 500 soldiers who were fighting with the Russians on the western approach to Kyiv. He said the group received a shipment from the United States three days ago and that it boosted their prospects. The rifles were being inspected and were sleek and black with long barrels. The man who refused to give his name said that he had fired one in combat on the outskirts of Kyiv. Yarantsev said the troops were more comfortable in buildings than in fields. There were a lot of boxes in the building where the soldiers were garrisoned. There were two hand grenades on the floor. The soldiers had coffee. A soldier oiled his rifle in a hallway. The fighting is close to the capital. The Russian forces have pursued smaller cities such as Mariupol on the Sea of Azov in order to encircle Kyiv, according to the defense minister of Ukraine.

Bobrytsky said he had not left his apartment since Tuesday. At the news conference with captured Russian soldiers, the Ukrainian security officials refused to speak. Reporters were given an opportunity to question the prisoners. The Russian leader had deceived the army about the aims of the war and had used the guise of a military exercise to prepare for an invasion, so he appealed to the Russian people to rise up and overthrow him. The prisoners didn't know what would happen to them after the news conference. It was not clear if they had showered or been offered clean clothes after their capture. The New York Times Company.
