These images show Ukrainian special forces carrying out a raid on Kharkiv and taking out nearly a dozen Russian soldiers while detaining three others.
The POV-style footage shows the Ukrainian soldiers opening fire in a forested area, using assault rifles and rocket launchers as they engage the Russian side in close combat.
The images show them surrounding a dugout and clearing it with a grenade before the images cut to exchanges of heavy gunfire.
The video then cuts to a Ukrainian soldier apparently checking that a fallen Russian soldier is indeed dead before they move forward and take the Russian position, coming across another dead soldier.
They then appear to clear another dugout with a grenade before storming it with their assault rifles.
The video then cuts to captured Russian soldiers talking to the camera.
The images were obtained from the Command of the Special Operations Forces (SSO) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Monday, 27th May, along with a statement saying: “Kharkiv region. Operators of the SSO of Ukraine carried out a successful raid on enemy positions.”
“Eleven Russian soldiers were killed on the road ‘Na Kharkov’, three more were captured.
“The enemy did not have time to recover, as the operators of the combat group of the Special Operations Forces were already at his positions.”
