In the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Army is taking local civilian men as prisoners (hostages). The video shows civilian men being taken away along with captured soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces. With these actions, Ukrainians are trying to achieve two goals: first, to exchange them for captured Ukrainian soldiers, and second, to inflate the number of allegedly captured Russian soldiers for propaganda purposes. So, when you hear claims that they have taken many hundreds of Russian soldiers prisoner (they did take a significant number of prisoners, but not nearly as many as they claim), remember that this number includes a lot of male civilians from the occupied territories.
