These Ukrainian 'Navy SEAL' special forces cause havoc for Russia | Russia Ukraine update.

It was a pitch-black night in early August when the team of Ukrainian commandos struck.

Up to seven boats packed with dozens of men stormed the Russian side of the Dnipro River, lit up the night sky with gunfire, and took 16 men including a senior officer prisoner.

And then they disappeared back into the night from which they came - or perhaps not.

What seemed to be a simple raid has since been touted as a mini-breakthrough of Russian lines that could have big implications for Ukraine’s counter-offensive.

And it is hardly the first. In fact, Kyiv’s men have been waging a 10-month clandestine campaign for control over the watery frontline that may, at last, be bearing fruit.

This is how daring Ukrainian soldiers have brought terror and death to the Russian bank, why British help may be key to winning the campaign, and what that all means for the war.

This is the inside story of the battle for the Dnipro River.
