These images show the Ukrainian National Guard taking out a group of Russian soldiers near Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine.
The footage begins by showing a group of Russian soldiers walking on a path before others are seen under some trees.
The area is then repeatedly hit by Ukrainian ordnance, with the Russian soldiers then seen dragging at least one of their wounded as they try to flee the area.
The footage ends with the area being hit again.
The images were obtained from the National Guard of Ukraine on Saturday, 5th November, along with a statement saying: that the images were filmed near Bakhmut.
The National Guard added: “The history of the encounter of a group of Russian forces with the Rapid Response Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.
“For the enemy, there was supposed to be a heroic saga and a white Lada… But what turned out was a sadistic thriller about the search for death in Ukraine…
“Do not go with weapons, boys and girls, to Ukraine to kill people, because the chance of returning is small, not as with the washing machine, but in general.”
The images and statement were also relayed by the Rapid Response Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is still calling a “special military operation”. Today marks the 257th day of the war.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between 24th February and 7th November, Russia had lost about 76,460 personnel, 2,771 tanks, 5,630 armoured combat vehicles, 1,782 artillery units, 391 multiple launch rocket systems, 202 air defence systems, 277 warplanes, 260 helicopters, 1,472 drones, 399 cruise missiles, 16 warships, 4,199 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 157 units of special equipment.
Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.
Ukraine is preparing for further electricity blackouts and new Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure, with President Volodymyr Zelensky saying that Russia “is concentrating forces and means for a possible repetition of massive attacks on our infrastructure, primarily energy.”
About 500 power generators are reportedly being sent to Ukraine by 17 European Union countries.
Vitali Klitschko, the Mayor of Kyiv, has said that residents should prepare for a worst-case scenario and make plans to evacuate the city.
Klitschko said: “If you have extended family or friends outside Kyiv, where there is autonomous water supply, an oven, heating, please keep in mind the possibility of staying there for a certain amount of time.”
Moscow has accused Ukraine of “sabotage” after the city of Kherson was reportedly cut off from electricity and water on Sunday following an airstrike on the Kakhovka dam.
American officials have reportedly told the Ukrainian government that it needs to signal an openness to negotiate with Moscow, with US officials in Washington warning that “Ukraine fatigue” could get worse should Kyiv continue to remain closed to negotiations and with Ukraine’s allies worrying about the economic fallout from a lengthy conflict.
There has reportedly been fierce fighting in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, with President Zelensky saying that Russia is driving inexperienced soldiers “to their deaths”.
He said that “very fierce Russian attacks in the Donetsk region continue”, adding: “The enemy suffers serious losses there, but despite everything, despite any losses, he [Russian President Vladimir Putin] continues to drive his mobilised soldiers and mercenaries to their deaths.”
