This footage depicts a Ukrainian soldier being evacuated during combat near Bakhmut.

Footage begins with a Ukrainian machine gun team (and the cameraman) going prone amid artillery fire. In the aftermath, the cameraman encounters a casualty in a nearby trench. He has been hit by shrapnel and is probably concussed. At 0:54 seconds we see two Ukrainians performing a two-person support carry as they extract the casualty, who is now upright and somewhat ambulatory. All of this is done amid the sounds of continued fire and explosions.
