The footage shows the actions of the Russian Armed Forces soldiers during an assault on AFU positions.
A Russian soldier comes to the rear of an AFU firing point and throws a hand grenade towards an enemy trench.
He then shouts for the two survivors to throw down their weapons and surrender. The Ukrainian soldiers were apparently confused or did not realize what was going on being stunned by the fighting.
In the video can be heard that one of the Ukrainian soldiers shouting “Our own, our own!” The Russian soldier continues to demand that the enemy drop their weapons during the 18 seconds of combat. He fired a warning shot over the enemy’s heads and even tried to snatch the assault rifle from the hands of the AFU soldier.
This has no effect. When a second AFU soldier tried to reach with his hands for a Russian soldier’s assault rifle, the Russian soldier fired a round at the enemy. Then he rolled out of the trench and continued the fight.
Juan Sinmiedo described the situation emotionally and rightly in his Telegram channel:
I do really somehow feel sorry for those two Ukrainian guys killed in the video this morning, they are obviously sent to die as cannon fodder, in the video they were down in the trench, didn’t know what happened, didn’t understand how someone at their backs would not be one of them, probably their “colleagues” on their flank or the rear ran for their lives long ago.
They died for Zelensky and for the Western hegemony, the young Russian soldier risked his own life, in the middle of a blood bath, to give them a chance to lay down arms, he exposes himself, selfeslesly, it’s clear he didn’t want to kill those men unnecessarily, I’m sure moments like this will hunt him for the rest of his life, but this moments are the ones that mark the difference between remaining human in hell or becoming the same as the Ukrainians who torture and murder POWs.
Ukrainians and Russians, two Slavic brothers pushed into a blood bath by NATO.
UPDATES. The fighting took place near the town of Svatovo. Russian units surrounded the enemy’s positions and offered to surrender, then stormed them. Fifteen soldiers from the 1st company of 518th SOF (Special Operations Forces) battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not surrender. Most of them died. For their part, the Russians had one soldier wounded.
This video shows the beginning of the assault, continued in the video at the beginning of the article.
This video shows the final part of the assault. The Russian soldiers return to refill their ammunition and leave again to pursue the enemy.
Russian Armed Forces personnel identified one of the AFU fighters in the video above. It turned out to be Vitaliy Milevskiy. He was known for his bravura and defiant TicTok videos. Only it turned out that fighting in a tic-tac-toe and fighting in real life are somewhat different things.
