Russian soldiers run for their lives as Ukraine forces destroy base

This is the moment Russian soldiers flee for their lives as the Ukrainian Armed Forces shell a settlement they have occupied.

The images were shared by the 44th Artillery Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces on Thursday with the message: "They say the day should start with positive emotions. We fully support this!"

The same footage was also shared by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which said: "Ukrainian artillery could even find a needle in a haystack. 44th Artillery Brigade."

In the drone footage, armed Russian soldiers are seen milling around the settlement before a missile explodes on the boundary wall, starting a fire next to what appears to be a large haystack, as referenced by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Moments later, around a dozen Russian soldiers are seen fleeing the area on foot before more missile strikes blast the complex.

The Ukrainian authorities did not mention where or when the attack took place.
