From what i have been able to find, He and his teammate where tasked with reconnoitering the village and placing the Russian flag, they were subsequently 'ambushed ' by a small ukraine counter force operating with direct com feed drone protection (as heard on the video).
His team-mate was killed prior to the knife fight, and this guy had taken cover in the building from the drone attacks, that had pinpointed his location to the go-pro guy. He popped a grenade under the guy's body armor at the very end and then put three shoots into him as he was still alive - barely. He then repelled another Ukraine counter-attack later that day from another 6 Ukraine's - killing two more the rest withdrew. Then he was able to withdraw sometime later after the drones left.
