Video released by the 93rd Mechanized Brigade and translated by War Translated shows Ukrainian Soldiers engaging in street-to-street battles with Russian forces in Bakhmut.

Outside of the initial context of this video, I'm just very happy that the Ukrainian Soldier found his gloves in the middle of that firefight. It would have been a shame if had to go back out and engage the Russian troops 25 meters from his position with an RPG without the aid of his gloves.

The brain does the dumbest things in combat sometimes. On one side of the street, you have Russian troops attempting to make a breakthrough directly in their field of fire. On their side, one of the guys is running around like a madman grabbing RPGs and small arms to hurl at the advancing Russians. Then, in the middle of all of that you have this dude just trying to find his gloves.
