Viral footage showing smiling Ukrainian men as they capture a giant Russian tank is now making the rounds on social media.
The group of men overtook the armored vehicle and then began to celebrate their victory by yelling patriotic slogans in favor of Ukraine such as ‘Glory to Ukraine’ and ‘We did it’ in their native language with great jubilation.
A moment after that, the men can be seen sitting inside the giant tank and taking a joy ride through the snow-filled fields of Kharkiv in Ukraine.
During the video, the men are having an absolute blast as they laugh and smile away without any fear in the world. This is deemed to be the exact opposite of the emotions being displayed this morning after US intelligence reports have warned of a huge threat to Ukraine as Russia prepares to take control of leading cities.
Other sources claim that the soldiers also managed to find a self-propelled howitzer, alongside a command vehicle, and an array of logistical trucks parked in Sumy, which is just 200 miles away from Kyiv.
At the moment, Russian soldiers are feeling a sense of demoralization and defeat as previous images featured them begging for help as their food supplies ran out. And that’s when Ukraine’s forces stepped in and offered them food and drink, as viral images of the two sides went viral this morning.
So many Russian soldiers claim they wish to go back home, adding how they were tricked by their senior commanders into taking part in the war.
“We were informed that we would be sent to Ukraine for training. We had no idea that we would be the ones who would be killing so many people who are trying to defend their land”- they explained.
The video of the soldiers celebrating the Russian tank capture was posted on a Twitter account that tracks the movement as well as usage of material in Ukraine. And since then, it has turned into a popular site for many to follow around the world.
