Ukrainian snipers from the elite unit known as the Ghosts of Bakhmut have shared exclusive video footage from the Pokrovsk direction, offering a rare and unfiltered look at the daily combat they endure against Russian forces. The footage, provided to Ukrinform by the Sniper Platoon of the Separate Presidential Brigade named after Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, shows intense battlefield activity where Ukrainian troops continue to resist and repel Kremlin aggression.
These ghost snipers are operating in one of the most active sectors of the front. Their missions are focused, precise and often carried out under heavy enemy fire. The newly released video captures the danger they face each day, as well as the high level of discipline and skill with which they carry out their tasks. The unit’s nickname, Ghosts of Bakhmut, comes from their stealth, mobility and ability to strike without warning.
While the exact location and time of the footage remain undisclosed for security reasons, the clip reveals Russian positions being monitored and engaged, with Ukrainian soldiers maintaining pressure and inflicting steady losses on invading troops.
The presence of such skilled Ukrainian fighters continues to pose a serious challenge to Russian attempts to hold ground in the Pokrovsk direction.
The psychological impact on Russian troops, who are constantly under threat of invisible sniper fire, adds another layer of disruption to their failing operations.
