Video from an unknown part of Ukraine appears to show a Russian 9K114 Shturm anti-tank guided missile vehicle targeting a Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle of an unknown type.

The 9K114 Shturm is a vehicle system specifically designed to deliver an anti-tank guided missile system. The most commonly used system on this platform is the 9M114 Kokon. It was originally designed during the Soviet era of Russia and the missile uses a SACLOS radio guidance system to guide the missile to its intended target.

These vehicles are exceptionally rare to see in action today as they initially entered service in 1974. It's worth noting that these systems will be rendered completely obsolete on the battlefield once the Bradley IFV touches down since they are superior in every single way to the Shturm. That last sentence is also not a statement of opinion, it is an absolute fact. I'm looking at you Ace.
