Video from Yuri's friend Steve shows an all out assault against an entrenched Russian position near Avdiivka. They utilize humvees and sheer violence of action to capture a trench that had been heavily contested for several months.

If you don't know why Steve is called the shrapnel magnet, I'm not going to be the one to explain it to you. You'll need to head over to his Instagram and give him a follow. While you're at it, go ahead and click this one so you can follow Yuri as well. These guys aren't posting every single day on Instagram and asking for donations, they're actual war machines out putting in the work.
