The Steel Lions unit, Ukraine's 63rd Separate Mechanised Brigade, has released footage of an American military volunteer and his brothers-in-arms mopping up the Serebrianka Forest near the town of Kreminna in Luhansk Oblast.

Details: The video shows Bruce, an American volunteer serving in an assault group, capturing four Russian soldiers together with his brothers-in-arms and saying to them: "On your knees, please!"

He then gives each prisoner a cigarette and adds: "Enjoy!" Bruce also reassures the prisoners that he is not going to shoot them.

The footage shows that some of the Russians complain of being wounded, and the Ukrainian soldiers take this into account.

"Check out the American soldier's level of Ukrainian and especially his politeness – even the Russians were surprised," the brigade said.
