In two separate videos of the same engagement, a Ukrainian solider is seen attacking a Russian mercenary who is crouched in a position cut into the wall of the trench. The body of another soldier (unclear if Ukrainian or Russian) is slumped nearby.
After tossing a grenade at the Russian, which explodes some way from the invader’s position, a Ukrainian soldier moves closer and hits the mercenary with shots from his assault rifle.

He withdraws, and his companion moves forward to toss a grenade directly on the Russian’s position. It explodes, likely killing the mercenary if he were not already dead.
