Footage shows a Russian assault ending badly in the vicinity of Synkivka in Kharkiv. Multiple Russian armored personnel carriers force their way into contested territory and drop troops of at houses already occupied by Ukrainian troops.

Due to the overwhelming threat of artillery, drones, and anti tank guided missiles; the Russian vehicles are nothing more than taxis as they immediately attempt to retreat to a relatively safe distance. However, some of them are knocked out.

The Russian dismounts are now on their own, in the open and up against Ukrainian infantrymen that are firing from fortified positions. They are gunned down not far from where they were dropped off.
