Drone footage shows an assault team of Ukrainian troops clearing out Russian trenches, but suddenly being shot down and blown up by a lone Russian rifleman.
Shortly before approaching the Russian bunker, the Ukrainians throw a couple grenades, which appears to injure one of the Russian soldiers. The Ukrainians get overconfident and one steps into full view of the Russian dugout and is hit by a burst of rifle fire. The Russian then lobs a grenade out of the hole which detonates on the Ukrainian.
The footage was taken from a Russian news piece that presented the clips with interviews of the supposed two Russians shown in the video. It's a legitimate possibility that the Russians shown in the video were actually killed in the following moments, and the interviewees were for morale-boosting propaganda purposes.
