Ukraine commados battle for control of Dnipro river in brutal gunbattle with Russian troops

Ukrainian commandos battled Russia for control of the Dnipro River. First-person video revealed a scouting mission to the left bank, which is occupied by Putin’s troops but which Ukraine is attacking. It reveals a squad walking behind destroyed houses, when they are spotted by enemies who open fire on them. A fierce battle breaks out as the men wade through icy water to get to cover, as their squamates fire back at the Russians. It is not clear exactly when the footage was taken, but it comes amidst a Ukrainian push to take control of both sides of the Dnipro. Doing so would allow them to launch a fresh Crimea offensive, but bypassing a lot of Russian defences further to the north.
