Winter is here again and war is still raging in Ukraine. There was one region that particularly favored the Russian war effort. After more than a year of fighting for control of Pokrovsk, in eastern Ukraine, at the heart of the front line, Russian forces appear close to capturing this logistics hub.

It was in this context that the video of a small squad of Russian soldiers moving in the fog at the entrance to the city, broadcast on social networks on Monday, caused military historians to react.
