According to a report by The Guardian, Ukraine claims to have captured its first Indonesian prisoner of war. The 49-year-old man, who is from Java, was reportedly taken to the Zaporizhzhia region to participate in a Russian military assault. Following a drone attack on his group, he managed to reach Ukrainian-controlled territory, where he was subsequently detained. This incident is said to coincide with a significant increase in Russian recruitment efforts from the South-East Asian country, as Moscow seeks to bolster its war effort.
