Request: Ukrainian Soldier in Trench Disables an APC Rolling by and Kills Two Unwitting Russians Assaulting His Position

Hi, I'm beginning to save significant footage from regional battles / campaigns in Ukraine - It's something I wish I had done when I started researching and writing on the Syrian Civil War in 2011.

To give a quick synopsis of the video I'm looking for: GoPro footage from a lone Ukrainian soldier in a trench in what I believe may have been the outskirts of Bakhmut or Soledar (could very well be wrong). From the start, you can hear the tracks and motor of an APC getting closer and the trench is very clearly being stormed.

In less than a minute, the APC passes within several meters of the soldier's trench (Believe it was a BTR), its flanks fully exposed. The Ukrainian soldier grabs, IIRC, a matador shooting it into the APC and disabling it. Either before or shortly after this happens, two Russian soldiers or Wagner combatants pass by the Ukrainian soldier's trench, again totally unaware that it's still occupied. The soldier shoots them from about a 3-4 meter distance from his position.

I believe they were attempting to flank then enter a trench behind the Ukrainian's position, not knowing that the first hadn't been fully cleared. The sounds of the battle are all around the soldier and shelling can be heard in the distance.

One more important detail: I may be combining two separate videos, but I recall another video where two Ukrainian soldiers disable an approaching APC with a matador - One soldier is in a dugout passing the soldier with the GoPro a Matador and loaded weapons to disable an APC and to suppress the assault troops. The soldier in the dugout only acted as support and didn't engage any Russians directly. Honestly, if these are two separate videos, I would appreciate links to either.
