Ukrainian Soldiers Engage Russians with First Responders and Children Nearby
Published 2 years ago
Street fighting in what could possibly be Mariupol shows Ukrainian Soldiers wearing blue arm bands engaging with Russian Soldiers while a paramedic crouches next to his ambulance.
The exact location of this video is unknown. The scenes we're seeing however do indicate that it could possibly be near a hospital in Mariupol. During the recording, you'll see a few Ukrainian paramedics, one who is crouched down near his ambulance. You'll also see what appears to be the interior of something like an emergency room, and two civilians that appear to be a mother-daughter duo. The younger of the two appears to be elementary school aged.
At the very end of the video, the cameraman spots a Russian tank. Let us know down in the comments if we're missing anything. Sometimes context is very difficult when dealing with this conflict, as the information is moving at a rapid pace, and it's hard to get the truth of some of it. This video is one of those circumstance. All we know for sure is that the Ukrainian military are engaging the Russians while there are civilians nearby. Some will immediately assume that they're using the civilians as a human shield, however it seems more likely that the Ukrainians here were at their post when the engagement began. Their post just happened to have civilians present because there are no secure lanes for the evacuation of civilians.
