Yeah I read it. It still makes more sense to say that where they were captured was nearer Ukraine than Belarus. Regarding the 'story' in the link. According to Google Maps: time to drive to border near Gomel (Bel.) = 7.5 hrs. It is 5.5 hrs if they took the more direct route (A-130), and even 5.25 hrs if they were to go more west (E30).
