They are perfectly calm but it's still a pretty wild video. You can hear the sound of explosives going off in the background throughout the recording!

Well done, Ukraine! May this be the first liberation of many for you, until you have reclaimed all of your sovereign lands.

Heroyam Slava!
It doesn't escape me the cost of liberating and recapturing territory like this. My thoughts are with those who made sacrifices, and their families especially.
