Operational Command West posted the video on Telegram.

"On one of the southern directions, the Russians were trapped and our military destroyed a BMD-4 from Javelin and then eliminated all enemy personnel," the caption reads. 

For reference: The BMD-4 is a post-Cold War Russian amphibious infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) developed from the BMD-3. Designed for the Russian Airborne Troops (VDV). While maintaining similarities in ergonomics and passenger positioning, the BMD-4 differs primarily in armament. The Bakhcha-U turret features a 100 mm 2A70 rifled gun, a 30 mm 2A72 coaxial autocannon, and a 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun.
