Footage from Telegram that was linked to us by one of our more prolific Pro-Russian commenters is allegedly the recovered GoPro of a Ukrainian Soldier who was killed during an assault on a Russian position near Kreminna.

This is a direct quote from the person who published this video.

Section of the Svatovo-Kremennaya front. A couple of days ago, Ukrainian special forces from the 518th separate battalion of the 1st Special Forces detachment were thrown into the offensive against the positions of our guys. The footage of the liquidation of his group was captured by one of the Armed Forces officers on an action camera. After the destruction of the operator, we hear the voices of our guys: "This is our opornik!".

At the beginning of the video, you can see the result of the previous attack of the Ukrainian. It was followed by the last one... And the bearded Emochka in the photo above!

"War to the last Ukrainian" from the first person. 12 VSUshnikov elite spetspidrozdila left the chat. Thank you for the kind trophies and beautiful GoPro videos!

We are unable to independently verify the legitimacy of this video, however there is nothing overtly obvious that would indicate this footage is faked in anyway.
