Insanely brutal close quarters battle footage released by the Ukrainian 73rd Maritime Special Operations unit shows a trench clearing operation in which multiple Russian soldiers are gunned down at close range.

The Ukrainian soldiers continue to call on the Russian troops to surrender, but none take the offer. They claim 10 Russian soldiers were killed in this trench battle.

The 73rd is compared to the Navy SEALS in their mission type and according to ongoing reports, are operating in the Kherson region, suggesting the approximate location of this footage.
