Ukrainian border guards fight Russians in first battle of surprise Kharkiv offensive

This is the first moments of the battle for Kharkiv as Russian launched a surprise attack. Video shows Ukrainian border guards inside their position when Putin’s men advance. They hear the Russians moving and call out to find who’s there, before opening fire. A tense gun battle follows, with the Ukrainians ultimately forced to fall back. More footage shows special forces soldiers being heavily shelled near the border. Kyiv rushed reinforcements to the area to stop the Russian advancing. Yet more video shows the Russian Legion was thrown into the fighting. Turncoat Russian soldiers used a BTR to drive back their own countrymen. FPV drone footage from the 42nd Brigade shows Russian vehicles being blown up. Ukraine is trying to hold back the surprise advance on Kharkiv, its second-biggest city. Russia is thought to have massed tens of thousands of troops in the area. They don’t have enough force to take the city, but can put it under pressure. The goal is unclear, but it may be to force Zelensky’s hand in any negotiations. #russia #ukraine #war

  5. The Westerm MSM complained about Russian propaganda and put out this kind of stuff itself. Who beiieves they are a reliable source any more?

  7. Dear DM,

    Can you highlight in your future videos why Russians are portrayed as heroes of WW2 and not as invaders and collaborators of Nazi Germany for starting WW2 by invading Poland from the East in 1939? Without a Russian attack on Poland and a secret agreement with Hitler, maybe WW2 would not happened.

  17. You’re gonna lose just accept it, the US is to blame for this situation, it was warned again and again and they ignored it! This is yet another failed American proxy war at the expense of civilians just like Gaza.

  21. Thank you, American arms companies have increased sales in exchange for the lives of Ukrainian soldiers

  22. European state need build or work with legion Francese for recruitment from soldier with experience from sud/ north America , UK and veterans in general for working in Ukraine but with coordination and command staff NOT Ukrainians but to work in cooperation with Ukrainian. Veteran from world i bet tlo much would like join but under Non-UKRAINIAN organization but obviously in collaboration with Ukraine.Having a professional structure allied with Ukraine BEHIND them would provide more security. Bit For 5/6 months there will be fighting in the forests and woods. This is the specialty of the legionnaires and veterans who have been doing this job for years. With salary paid by Europe and obviously people who He doesn't have to stay in the trenches but works at night or in small groups during the day. These operators with plenty of equipment. It can do for 5; people worth 30 Russians. With ATGM suppressors on rifles, snipers and sappers who quickly transform a forest into a minefield.
