Ukrainian special forces storm Russian trench on southern front

Ukrainian special forces have been filmed surprising and killing Russian soldiers in brutal close-quarters trench fighting on the southern front. It came as Ukraine said it had captured another village in the south and Rishi Sunak, the prime minister, said the counter offensive was “making good progress.” The two minute clip purports to show members of the 72nd Marine Centre for Special Operations, the Ukrainian equivalent of Britain’s Special Boat Service, storming a Russian trench system somewhere in the south of the country. It shows the man wearing the camera shooting four Russian soldiers in quick succession and at very close range as they charge around corners of the trenches.
