Zenger News obtained the footage from the 45th Separate Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Wednesday, May 25.
The 45th Separate Artillery Brigade said (in Ukrainian): โEveryday life of cannons โ we crumble orcs for fertilizer.

โThe video shows the chronology of the interaction between the 15th DVKR and Azov reconnaissance units and the brigadeโs artillerymen. They fly โ we destroy!โ
The Ukrainian military frequently refers to Russian troops as โorcsโ in its communications.
And the โ15th DVKRโ refers to the Counter-Intelligence Department of the Security Service of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military used a reconnaissance drone to discover the positions of the Russian troops among a line of trees demarcating a field.

The artillery strikes reportedly wiped out the base of a Russian platoon and damaged several enemy infantry fighting vehicles.
The 45th Separate Artillery Brigade was created in 2014 and is based in Lviv Oblast. The brigade did not specify where in Ukraine the footage was filmed.

In other developments, Ukrainian officials said that Russian forces have attacked more than 40 towns in the eastern Donbas region.
They added that five civilians died, 12 were wounded and 47 civilian sites were destroyed or damaged in the latest attacks.

And Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree that makes it easier for Ukrainians in occupied areas to become citizens of Russia.
Russia has also done away with the upper age limit for contractual service in its military.
Ukraine has called Russiaโs offer to lift the blockade of its Black Sea ports in return for the lifting of some sanctions โblackmailโ.
The blockade has led to shortages in wheat and cooking oil across the world.

And Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has compared former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to Nazi appeasers in 1938.
Kissinger had suggested that Ukraine should let Russia keep Crimea, which it annexed in 2014 following a disputed referendum.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what Putin initially called a โspecial military operationโ to โdemilitarize and denazifyโ Ukraine.
The Kremlin is still calling the invasion a โspecial military operationโ but now says that its goal is to โprotect Donbassโ.
May 26 marks the 92nd day of the invasion.
