Video released by Ukrainian drone pilots shows the ambush of a Russian Soldier out for a casual stroll in Donetsk. The soldier appears to be enjoying a stint of liberty, so this attack is most likely inside of Russian controlled territory.

What's unusual about this video is the posture of the Russian Soldier. He doesn't appear to be anywhere near a frontline, which indicates that this attack was either carried out by a reconnaissance unit behind Russian lines or by Partisan forces located in Donetsk. It's unclear which is the case as not much context was released with the video.
