Ukrainian troops taking out a Russian base in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine.
The footage appears to show Ukrainian artillery targeting entrenched Russian positions in the area.
It is unclear where exactly in the Kherson Oblast region of southern Ukraine the images were filmed but they were obtained from the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, which is part of the Ukrainian Navy, on the evening of Monday, 20th June, and they said: "The Nikolaev Marines are actively preparing to take part in the 'Kherson referendum'!"
Iryna Vereshchuk, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories, has urged locals in the Kherson region to evacuate the area so as to help Ukrainian forces "deoccupy" the area.
She said: "Please go because our army will definitely deoccupy these lands. Our will to do so is unwavering. And it will be very, very difficult to open a humanitarian corridor when there are children there. It was difficult in Mariupol, and in the Kherson region it will be even harder.
"Because the enemy learns, becomes even more cynical, and uses human shields, especially children. We will know that there are children there, and we will be powerless, and we really don't want that. Believe me, deoccupation will be very fast. There will definitely be a counteroffensive."
The 36th Separate Marine Brigade added that the footage shows how the "art of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade named after Rear Admiral Mykhailo Bilynsky once again denazified the occupiers' command and observation post."
They signed off by saying: "Glory to the Marines!"
The 36th Separate Marine Brigade, officially the 'Rear Admiral Mykhailo Bilynskyi 36th Separate Marine Brigade', was formed in 2015, mainly from Ukrainian marines who evacuated from Crimea following Russia's annexation of the peninsula in 2014.
They were one of the two primary units - along with the Azov Battalion - that defended Mariupol until the city was taken by pro-Russian forces in May.
