A video surfaced on December 25, 2025, between 8:45 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. UTC, depicting police officers touring the abandoned command post of Ukraine's former 75th battalion of the 102nd Territorial Defense Brigade in central Gulyaipole, revealing left-behind flags, commander's workbook, laptops, smartphones, tablets, flash drives, and seals from military unit A7127, according to DeepStateUA. The command post was stormed by Russian forces around December 18, 2025, before Ukrainian personnel fully evacuated, leaving the items intact; one company member died during the incident without timely evacuation, as detailed in the DeepStateUA report posted during the 29-minute window. DeepStateUA stated that Russian forces penetrated the site after Ukrainian departure to document the abandoned equipment, confirming ongoing enemy presence in central Gulyaipole, described as a contested gray area with both sides active. The report highlighted chaos in Territorial Defense unit management, calling for higher command intervention, while noting relevant authorities are addressing the situation. This development follows Russian capture of the 102nd Brigade's staff headquarters between 8:15 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. UTC earlier on December 25, where intact laptops and documents were also seized, per a prior update citing @baelthass404 on X.
