It's hard to see real well but it looks like buckthorn. Is it really a vine or is it shooting off of a shrub?

I called it a vine only because it was taller than my single story home and it is set in some trees. It is along an old home foundation. There are two of them about 8ft apart. The same height.

Is it possible for you to take a photo of it outside where it is?

It is a bit hard to see but I still think it looks like buckthorn. Here is a link to look at and compare to yours. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/terrestrialplants/woody/buckthorn/index.html
