Footage shows the Ukrainian defenders sneaking up on the Russians as the sun rises before causing deadly havoc on the unsuspecting troops.

A number of assault specialists from the 12th Azov Brigade threw grenades into the trenches from afar before advancing towards their enemy who had started to fire back.

The battlefield was plagued with thick, black smoke from the explosives as sparks continued to fly from all angles.

Hiding behind trees, the Ukrainians swiftly made their way forwards in a uniformed raid of the Russians as they aimed to clear out Putin's invaders.

Gunfire can be seen flying from both sides as the firefight continued to ramp up as the foes fought over the 30ft warzone.

After less than two minutes the Ukrainians managed to infiltrate the trench as the footage shows them advancing forward with their guns aimed.

Russians surrender. You're f***ed

Several more grenades are seen being tossed towards the back of the trenches as one huge blast erupts - sending a mushroom cloud into the air.

One of the troops can be heard speaking to a Russian occupier cowering away as audio picks up him saying: "Russians surrender. You're f***ed."

Incredibly tense footage then shows the final few Putin cronies hidden in the corner of the bullet-ridden hideout as the Ukrainians take aim.

After a savage firefight a quick-thinking fighter drops a grenade into the bunker before they cover up as a chilling blast rings out.

Flames burst through the trench as an Azov fighter says they have hit the ammo supplies - blowing up the artillery.

As the fire rises another horrific clip shows two opposing troops coming face to face before the Russian is left lifeless on the floor.

Machine guns are then placed on top of the cleared trenches as they open fire once more before launching even more grenades.

All Russian fighters were reportedly eliminated in the calculated ambush.

At the end of the clip, the trench can be seen crumbling to pieces after being obliterated by gunfire and explosions as bodies lay strewn across the ground.

A soldier can be heard declaring "I love you guys" just moments after they were given the all clear.

The footage, recorded on Azov's fighters GoPro cameras, was uploaded to YouTube after the successful assault.

It quickly ramped up almost 700,000 views in just 24 hours.
