Brutal footage from the Azov Regiment's 3rd Assault Brigade shows the killing and capture of multiple Russian troops as the Ukrainian troops clear out trenches and bunkers near Bakhmut.

At one point, the cameraman disarms a wounded Russian and begins to assess his injuries when he notices the enemy soldier is holding a live grenade with the pin already out. He sprays rifle fire into the Russian as he rapidly puts distance between himself and the threat. The grenade can be heard exploding seconds later.

The video also shows interesting interactions between the two sides as they come face to face after several months of fighting.
