Shocking new video released by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense shows just a handful of its soldiers putting a much larger unit of Russian soldiers to flight.

At the very beginning of the drone footage, dozens of Moscow soldiers defend Russian positions, before cutting to a Ukrainian armored unit advancing to meet the invading forces as it is bombarded with artillery fire that lands on it at close range.

After that, the Ukrainian military reaches a position parallel to the trenches held by the Russians and quickly exits the armored vehicle. Although the video recording is not very clear, the Kyiv military appears to be no more than 5-8.

They immediately go on the attack in an almost kamikaze maneuver and at first appear to be repulsed by Russian troops. But after a few seconds of the battle, the Russian soldiers behind the trenches, who at first seemed calm, seem to lose their temper and gradually begin to flee.

After one of the Moscow soldiers descends from the trenches at high speed, panic quickly sets in among the invading forces, who lead her to safety despite being several times outnumbered by the Ukrainian military.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine does not specify where this wonderful video was shot, but it partially resembles another that appeared on social networks in early October and shows the insane courage with which Kyiv soldiers advanced in Humvees to the positions of the Russians among numerous enemies. artillery hits.

The footage was shot in the Kherson region in southern Ukraine, from where Russian troops retreated to the eastern bank of the Dnieper last week.
