Members of the Russian airborne division known as the VDV have been spotted on camera in the vicinity of Kreminna according to reports circulating on Telegram.

This video was initially leaked to a Telegram group chat. Since then, it has been found circulating on Twitter and Reddit both. It's unclear what the scope of this VDV operation is, but more than likely the unit is being used to bolster combat operations in the area.

While the VDV may never live down their defeat at Hostomel Airport due the failure of their superiors, it's important to remember that the unit is still an elite fighting force within the Russian military. Wherever the VDV is, it's likely considered a point of friction for the Russians.
