Ukrainian paratrooper ambushes Russian assault group

A Ukrainian paratrooper managed to mount a strong defense against an attempt by Russian troops to attack his positions on the front line.

A video of the battle was published on June 19 on the channel of the 7th Corps of the Ukrainian Airborne Assault Forces.

The Russians sent their reconnaissance group to an area where intense fighting is ongoing.

After receiving information about the enemy’s direction of movement, the Ukrainian paratrooper took up a position and waited until the enemy was within close range.

When three Russian occupiers entered the shelter, he instantly struck them with a fragmentation grenade and small-arms fire.

As a result, two Russians were killed, while another sustained serious shrapnel wounds and fled the position.

“Despite constant pressure from the enemy, our units continue to hold their defenses, inflict casualties on the enemy, and thwart their attempts to advance,” the Ukrainian military reported.

It was previously reported that during the battle, an American M113 armored personnel carrier, which was evacuating wounded Ukrainian soldiers, withstood nine strikes from Russian combat drones.
