Ukraine’s 80th Air Assault Brigade protect Klishchiivka with machine guns against Russian attack

Ukraine’s 80th Air Assault Brigade repelled a Russian attack on Klishchiivka. Dramatic first-person footage shows a fierce firefight in the town, near Bakhmut. A unit of Ukrainians is holding a destroyed building on the outskirts of town. Debris including old ration packs on the floor show it used to be held by Russia. And Putin’s men are trying desperately to take it back. Frantic radio chatter tells the Ukrainian which direction the attack is coming from. And they open fire with everything they have. Rocket launchers, grenades, machine guns and rifles are all used. Troops constantly swap places and weapons as they try to hold the attack off. What begins as a dawn raid continues through the day. And by the time the video ends, night appears to be falling. But the Ukrainians continue to hold their position, and drive the Russians back. Klishchiivka, located south of Bakhmut, was recently taken by the Ukrainians. It commands high ground which makes it ideal for artillery spotting. And that is why Russia is so desperate to take it back. Heavy battles have been ongoing there ever since Ukraine took it. But so far all attacks have been replaced, with heavy Russian casualties.
