Russia claims Konstantinovka capture, names soldiers Mosin and Stolyarsky

Moscow says the pair, from Ukraine's 425th Assault Regiment, had orders to plant a flag and film a minute of footage.

Captured soldiers named as Yevgeny Mosin and Sergei Stolyarsky of the 425th Assault Regiment.
Their goal, per Moscow: stick a flag, film one minute, fake an on-camera presence.
Russian MoD says Kyiv's command keeps sending such squads despite repeated losses.

Why it matters: Ordering men to film themselves for a headline instead of holding ground spends soldiers on propaganda, not war.
