Some intense footage surfacing today claims to show Russian Spetsnaz soldiers engaging Ukrainian ground forces in a dense forest located in the Severodontesk region of Ukraine.

At the time of this writing, these claims are not confirmed. I will point out in this footage specifically; these troops seem very well equipped to be "regular" Russian infantry. You'll notice the man behind the camera has a decent optic and even a suppressor. I feel like at this point in the war, some troops are only lucky enough to have ammunition.

As far as the Ukrainian infantry claim, there are no visible enemy to the camera perspective in the forest. We can assume and relate from other Spetsnaz footage coming out of Ukraine, the engagement was not falsified, but again you never know.
