Video from a camera mounted to the tactical vest of a Ukrainian Soldier in Bakhmut captures an engagement between a small group of Ukrainians and and unknown force of Russian troops.

It's unclear exactly the size of the two units involved in this gunfight. If I had to guess, the Ukrainians are probably operating in a small squad-sized unit, and they're likely attempting to maneuver on an equally sized Russian force, but there's no way to be sure from this video alone as a lot of context is missing.

When viewing videos from this perspective, it's important to remember that we're looking at a 2 dimensional image of a 3 dimensional space. The camera can only capture what's in its field of view, and that FoV is generally far smaller than that of the fighter wearing the camera on their body. On top of that, just because we don't see something captured on camera, doesn't mean that it didn't happen or ceases to be in the momentary thought processes of the individuals involved.
