Comments by "" (@tomk3732) on "🔴 Ukrainian Soldiers Targeting Wagner Group Fighters With Heavy Machine Gun And Mortars In Soledar" video.
Looks like DPR militia forces. Notice heavy editing of the video.

Taken yesterday. There are videos.

So Russians were spotted and forced to retreat taking no visible casualties. Mortar strikes were post retreat - i.e. nobody on Russian side got hurt. But the position of the MG was spotted and relayed to artillery for elimination. Heavy video editing and probably this is DPR militia not Wagner troops.

Yet when you look closely there were no Russians there. None.

But none were killed as per video. None seem to be visibly wounded as well.

 @lee.as.in.l.e.e.7394 Nah, they were happy in other videos to just mask the dead. There is nothing to prevent showing wounded soldiers on YT. Finally why would they show no troops when mortars hit - clearly they hit... no one.

 @larsrons7937 but video claim is not confirmed by vide itself. Cleary no one is seen when mortars hit. Nobody.

 @larsrons7937 But between 1:15 and 1:20 there is EDIT CUT. At 1:32 we have edit cut again. I.e. The event from 1:32 probably is before mortar strike. If this was "real" video they would have one continuous video or at least video from the blast - zoom in to show casualties, no? - it would take same amount of time, no? but they do not. Thus I claim no casualties. The unit withdrawn. Also your claim they were pinned by MG fire - they were behind concrete blocks - why they did not move out and others did? "Between these three parts it is technically possible that the soldiers hiding suddenly rose up despite of the machinegun fire, ran away to be out range of the explosions just about to happen, then ran back and threw themselves on the ground in awkward positions pretending to be dead. Technically. But not likely in no way realistic." "then ran back and threw themselves on the ground in awkward positions pretending to be dead. " - that was BEFORE mortars stroke or could be another unit or something entirely different - even friendly troops pretending to be dead. Also note difference in video quality between different pieces - could be even different drone. A "real" video would have one continuous roll show Russians, zoom out (or not) have a mortar blast and show after effects. Why would anyone edit 10 seconds? You are way, way, way too trustworthy.

 @larsrons7937 No they are not. Watch the video again. Its heavily edited, and do not assume each edit is in sequence. As I already replied to someone else, in normal video you would see such things in one 10s clip "soldiers on the ground, mortar strike, dead or wounded" as one take. But here you do not see. Ask yourself why anyone would do multiple cuts in 10s or less of video ;) View it this way "clip one shows some Russian troops contacting enemy HM position & moving back". clip 2 at some other time shows mortars striking roughly same area - could be after or before clip 1. Clip 3 shows some killed or wounded troops - could be before or after 1 /2.

It looks like its DPR militia. Not wagner.
