#2 ↑↑↑ The above incredible video is of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers within inches of each other in close quarter combat fighting for control of a bridge area using automtic weapons and granades.

The Russians troops are in the upper area of the video and the Ukrainians are in the lower area of the video and under the bridge.

Despite being just feet from each other all the bullets seems to be missing thier targets. The Russian soldier even seems to be waving for more of his comrades to join him.
