The footage was obtained from the National Guard of Ukraine on Thursday, August 4, along with a statement saying that the images show “Ukrainian soldiers destroy[ing] the enemy in the Donetsk direction”.
The National Guard added: “The artillery of the 81st separate airmobile brigade, together with the guards of the battalion of the operational assignment named after the Hero of Ukraine Major General Serhiy Kulchytskyi, effectively destroyed a mortar battery of the Russian occupation troops in the Sviatohirsk direction.”
Sviatohirsk is a city in the northern part of the Donetsk Region of eastern Ukraine.
