This Go-pro footage depicts the “Sun” team, a Ukrainian volunteer recon unit, as they assault a Russian position.

The team begins firing on the Russians at 0:44, staying low and using concealment as they fire and crawl forward. Smoke is seen erupting from the Russian position at 01:15. At 02:51, the soldier to the cameraman’s right is seen tossing aside his rifle amid incoming fire. At 02:59, footage from later reveals that his rifle took a round and was disabled. The footage then reverts to the assault, showing the “Sun” team continuing to exchange fire with the Russians. An explosion is seen to the cameraman’s front left at 05:11. The recon unit shifts their fire toward the detonation before the video ends.
