This short clip shows a Ukrainian machine gunner springing an ambush on advancing Russian forces.

The bearded Ukrainian soldier in the foreground is seen watching Russian soldiers as they advance, waiting for an opportune instant. At 0:07, he springs into action, firing what appears to be a PK or PKM model machine gun. A second soldier in the background readies an RPG at 0:12, firing at 0:14. After firing a few more bursts, the machine gunner and RPG troop retreat back into their entrenched position.
