Russians Take Building by Force and Establish a Foothold
Published 1 years ago
Video released by a pro-Russian source shows what is either Russian troops or Wagner fighters taking control of a building in Bakhmut, and then engaging with nearby Ukrainian forces.
I can't comment on the validity of this video, however the source claims that the troops in this video took the building by force from Ukrainian troops, and pushed them into a retreat. They also claim that the ensuing firefight was the Russian forces pushing the Ukrainians farther back. All of that said, this is one of those rare instances where the Russians appear to be publishing actual compelling combat footage, instead of their normally sanitized nothing-burgers.
It's unclear what units are represented in this video, however the irregular uniforms of the fighters seen later in the video leads me to believe that these could be Wagner forces.
