GoPro: Ukrainian Light Machine Gunner Engages Russian Forces in Close Combat

GoPro footage from a Ukrainian light machine gunner conducting an attack near Bakhmut in early May shows a close engagement with Russian forces. Around 4 minutes into the video, you can hear what sounds like a Russian Soldier shouting a warning about a fragmentation grenade the Ukrainian dropped into his fighting hole.


I could be mis-hearing it, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. At 4:32, after the Ukrainian tosses a fragmentation grenade into the small bunker, you can hear an exclamation coming from that direction that sounds vaguely Russian. It could also be another Ukrainian Soldier further down the line however. Let me know what you think down in the comments, as no further context was provided by the source of this video.
