GoPro footage released with little context from the Freedom of Russia legion shows an alleged gunfight between legion fighters and Russian forces, presumably filmed yesterday during their incursion across the Ukraine-Russia border.

It is worth noting that this video is hotly contested in many circles right now, with both pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian sources saying that this is a faked firefight with no combatants at all on the down-range side of the Legion's barrels. We're not going to weigh in on that discussion however, and will simply present the footage as it was published.
