Footage from Azov's 3rd Assault Brigade shows Ukrainian troops dissenting from an armored personnel carrier and taking up fighting positions while under heavy fire. The incident reportedly took place near Klishchiivka, a town recently liberated by Ukraine south of Bakhmut. The Russians fell back to defensible locations along a railroad track that provide hard cover and terrain dominance relative to the surrounding area.

Some interesting points observed in the video: There appears to be a woman present, and the troops shown in the video have seemingly clean and fresh uniforms. It's possible they are fresh reinforcements.
