Members of the elite Russian VDV engage with Ukrainian forces near Kreminna. The brief firefight is recorded on the helmet camera of one of the VDV paratroopers.

The VDV have been mostly absent from the conflict in Ukraine due to their ranks having been utterly obliterated during the opening days of the conflict at Hostomel Airport. It appears as if in the past month or so, the VDV have reappeared from nowhere, as they've been reported heavily contesting Ukrainian forces near Kreminna.
