A group of Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF) troops carried out a lightning-fast raid on an enemy position near the Russian border, taking the enemy in reverse, according to the Ukrainian special forces.

"The border, rain, and enemy presence are not obstacles but the usual working conditions for Special Operations Forces operators. The soldiers of the Special Operations Forces operate non-stop in the hottest parts of the front and beyond the line of contact, delivering devastating blows to the enemy," the caption under an accompanying video reads.

According to the report, this time a team from one of the SOF units executed a rapid assault on a Russian position close to the border.

Thanks to careful planning, coordination, and professionalism, the soldiers successfully achieved their objective.
