The Ukrainian soldier then puts down his assault rifle before unpinning a grenade and tossing it towards the Russian soldiers and resuming fire as the footage ends. The Ukrainian soldier then shouts 'Davay, blyad'', which can be loosely translated into English as 'Let's f***ing do this!', before he continues to fire at them. The Ukrainian soldier filming the action appears to lie down, taking cover behind a mound of dirt next to the trench, with the images on the left of the screen, apparently filmed by a drone above the trench, showing the Russian fighters taking fire before turning around and retreating. The images then show the Ukrainian soldier filming the action opening fire on the Russian position, which the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade said was made up of Wagner mercenary soldiers, seen on the left of the screen attempting to advance along the trench. The video, filmed a soldier from the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, begins by showing a second Ukrainian soldier in the shallow trench as exchanges of gunfire are heard between the Ukrainian and Russian sides. Meanwhile, footage from the trenches near Bakhmut, eastern Ukraine, shows heavy fighting between Russian and Ukrainian troops. 'The occupiers use these trucks to bring dead Russian servicemen and mercenaries.' Near the local crematorium in the village of Krasna Zorka, Crimea, there 'is a constant line of military vehicles numbering up to 10 units', the Ukrainian armed forces said.

Russian forces are continuing to suffer heavy defeats on the battlefield - but in an effort to hide these losses, officials in Crimea are burning dead troops in crematoriums 'around the clock'.

Russia today claimed its troops had broken through two fortified lines of Ukrainian defences on the eastern front - but Ukrainian forces said Russian forces have not yet been successful in their efforts to punch through their defences.
