Drone footage shows a half dozen Russian infantrymen attempting to defend a hole in the ground during a close range firefight with Ukrainian troops near Robotyne.

An unspecified blast, possibly a hand grenade or drone dropped grenade, erupts at the opening of the cellar, which flushes the first Russian soldier out. He is then caught in the open and shot from multiple angles. He is dead within seconds.

The rest of the Russian troops initially exchange fire from the opening of the hole, but quickly realize they are on the losing end of the battle. They decide to lay down their arms and surrender. Once they are disarmed, they are escorted away from the site, walking within a few feet of their dead buddy.
