Phoenix8 I think this video you used was taken from a propaganda site that created a fake storyline for it.

Here is another description of who was involved and it fits with my post 11.

“”FYI This is 1st Battalion International Legion, Bravo Company in the Kharkiv counteroffensive last Sep-Oct. The team fighting was the most experienced in the battalion. It WAS a Spetnaz stronghold they took. They lost 2 to artillery & 1 to a sniper, several WIA.””

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled FULL Battle of Russian BMP Crew VS American Mercenaries, Which Strong? (Indonesian published Video of combat in Ukraine with claimed American participants), ansel12 wrote:

Actually, Ansel12, I think the content you post about it is Ukrainian military propaganda, likely using a fake name. Here's the link you posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQeyk1BQ7LE

That YOUTUBE channel provides the following description of the account owner.

"A veteran of the Marine Infantry, YPG, YBS, and Ukrainian Spetsnaz who gives advice for going into the Military, getting out of the Military, and everything in-between.

Here's Phoenix8's YOUTUBE channel description of the account owner for the link Phoenix8 posted:

"The official channel managed by the East Tribune newsroom. We present the best news videos from the East Tribune newsroom, the Tribun Network and Kompas Gramedia networks."

I looked up the publication and it looks legit, part of a network as described.

I don't know the politics of Indonesia's newsroom, but I sure don't want to read dispatches from the Ukrainian military for 'objectivity' reasons.
