I probably don't believe what you think I believe. Est. 2019. US Flag Code purist.

Instead of the promised M2 Bradleys and upgraded Czech T-72's, the Western supplies ran short before the 31st and 32nd could be equipped.

The last known region I know this unit to be fighting in is the Svatove direction in Luhansk.

The 32nd Brigade was formed in early 2023 and was deployed during the 2023 Ukrainian Counteroffensive.

The 32nd, part of the Ukrainian 10th Corps (9 brigades trained and equipped to NATO standards), found its equipment and training less than satisfactory.

Battle Damage Assesment:
Pictures show the grouping of vehicles and bodies clearly wearing military uniforms, prior to the vehicles burning as seen at the end of the previous video.

... lost his weapon. Despite this and the fact that he was running away, he still constitutes a valid military target. He was a uniformed soldier in the combat zone and not subject to any exceptions under international law.

their captives. While violence of action is useful when making enemies submit, these men were clearly already defeated and disarmed and were not showing resistance.

Not a good showing from the defenders, regardless of how Russia treats POW's. An army seeking to join NATO must meet NATO standards.

While we frequently see videos of soldiers being taken prisoner, technically doing so is a violation of the Geneva Convention protections from "Public Curiosity".

The Ukrainian soldiers (likely from the Territorial Defense Forces based on their green armbands) are seen physically abusing

Interestingly, the source where I found this report also stated that a "similar rally in support of those who do not want to fight was also held ... in Milan", but upon further research the protest was actually calling for the release of Ukrainian soldiers taken prisoner at Azovstal.

For those looking for positive identification of the ownership of these tanks, at 44 seconds the classic V symbol is seen painted on the front of one of the less damaged vehicles. The Russian Army has used multiple symbols including Z, V, and O to denote different units/fronts in the conflict.

An RPG warhead (PG-7) wrapped in electrical tape is seen next to one of the tanks. These jerry-rigged explosives are often seen attached to FPV (kamikaze) drones and detonated on impact, or dropped from larger hexacopter drones (like the Ukrainian "Baba Yaga). This one apparently failed to detonate.

I geolocated the footage to the Western part of town, recorded from a nearby apartment building.
