A Ukrainian Man Offers To Tow The Enemy Tank Back To Russia

After noticing the vehicle apparently stopped in the middle of a motorway, a Ukrainian man filmed himself offering his assistance to pull the tank back to Russia.

This is the latest viral clip of brave Ukrainian soldiers confronting Russian troops. The driver pulls up beside the moving military vehicle and asks several soldiers through his window if they have fallen apart.

When the driver informs them that they are running out of fuel, soldiers crack up and he asks: “Can I tow you back to Russia?”

When asked by soldiers about the invasion, he replied that Ukraine won the war and Moscow’s troops were good at surrendering since “they also don’t know where they are going”.

The Ukrainian claimed that he had asked “the whole column of Russian vehicles” as they advanced towards the capital, but that no one knew where they were or where they were going. He drives past another tank in 30 seconds.

Journalists shared the footage, including a BBC Disinformation reporter and government officials, including Riho Terras (Estonia’s former chief defense officer), who asked: “Does it look like a force that can fight an extended conflict?”

They don’t have the fuel or motivation and they don’t know where to go. It’s a surreal exchange, but it shows how unprepared the first wave of Russian invasion.

On Friday, a Ukrainian military Facebook account stated that Russian troops were stopped near Konotop in north east Kyiv. They were experiencing “a problem with fuel supplies”. It claimed that some soldiers were carrying gas canisters and “trying to purchase fuel”, while others were “demanding food and fuel from the local population.”

The UK Ministry of Defence stated that Russian advances had been slowed temporarily due to logistical problems and strong Ukrainian resistance.

In an intelligence update, the ministry stated that Russian forces were bypassing major Ukrainian populations centres and leaving forces to encircle them and isolate them.
