Intense combat footage has emerged that purports to show Brazilians fighting for Ukraine engaging Russian forces in an intense firefight.<\/p>\n
The unverified and undated footage shared on social media was said to be of fighters from Ukraine’s Foreign Legion attempting to storm a building held by the Russians.<\/p>\n
The first-person video shows several soldiers in a wooded area as gunfire erupts around them – a building in the distance appears to be the source of the incoming fire.<\/p>\n
One soldier then pulls out a rocket launcher before firing a round into the window of the building.<\/p>\n
Claims on social media say the video was filmed in the east of the country, although it’s unconfirmed where and when the footage was taken.<\/p>\n
The footage comes amid heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine that has seen Russia gain some ground at a devastating cost.<\/p>\n
Much of the fighting has been centred around the Donetsk town of Avdiivka where Moscow has been sending wave after wave of soldiers to slaughter.<\/p>\n
The UK Ministry of Defense said in an update on X: “In recent days, Russian forces have made further small advances on the northern axis of a pincer movement as part of their attempt to surround the Donbas town of Avdiivka.<\/p>\n
“Since the start of October 2023, Russian forces have moved the front line forwards up to 2km in this area.<\/p>\n
