GoPro video released by Ukrainian forces conducting assault operations in Bakhmut captures several small engagements with Russian forces. At one point, they can be seen utilizing an improvised stretcher to remove one of their wounded from the battlefield.

This video is being boasted about as if it were members of Ukrainian Special Forces across multiple social media platforms, however just about every video coming out of Ukraine claims that it shows Ukrainian Special Forces because that term alone warrants more clicks and views. What's more likely is that this is a fireteam to squad-sized unit of regular infantrymen doing regular infantrymen things during some of the most intense military operations in urban terrain ever recorded in modern warfare.
