Female soldier of Ukraine’s elite 47th Brigade helps stop massive Russian attack on Avdiivka

Soldiers of Ukraine’s elite 47th Brigade revealed an intense day-long trench fight against a massive Russian armoured assault on the town of Avdiivka. First-person footage taken by a female soldiers shows her and her comrades holding off the Russian assault on their trenches, destroying at least half a dozen armoured vehicles and tanks in the process, and taking out dozens of Russians. Once the worst of the battle is over, they have to race to save the life of their brother-in-arms, jokingly nicknamed al-Qaeda, after he was hit by a grenade. Video shows how they had to drag him through the trenches to two Bradley IFVs which then take him off the battlefield and to hospital for treatment. Then, Ukraine’s own tanks move in to bombard the empty Russian vehicles setting them alight and ensuring they cannot be used again. Russia is trying to surround Avdiivka, a town in eastern Ukraine which has been on the frontline since 2014, but have so far been stopped in their tracks.
