A Ukrainian machine gunner of the 3rd Assault Brigade engaged in close fighting near Andriivka is wounded but keeps fighting. A few seconds into the video a mortar lands nearby and the gunner can be heard after taking mortar fragmentation. He continues to fight until he takes a bullet which, according to the source, is stopped by his body armor. Unphased, he continues to fight. This footage is demonstrative of the intensity of the fighting and the resolve of the Ukrainian defenders.
