This is the moment when a Ukrainian driver mockingly asks the invaders if they need to “pull back to Russia” after noticing that their tank was damaged on the way to Kiev.
The video, which has been widely circulated on social media, appears to show a meeting between a group of Ukrainians and Russians who are said to have blocked a roadside outside the Ukrainian capital.
The footage begins with the driver slowing down to a stop as he approaches a Russian tank that has “broken” on the side of the road and is waiting for diesel.
The Ukrainian motorist lowered his window before jokingly offering to withdraw troops back to Russia, causing a roar of laughter from everyone involved.
Hundreds of people, including former Ukrainian journalist Viktor Kovalenko, took to Twitter to share a translation of the humorous exchange.
Fighting is taking place in and around major Ukrainian cities for the third day in a row, as Kiev’s defense ministry has so far estimated Russia’s losses at about 2,800 troops, 80 tanks, 516 armored vehicles and 10 planes and seven helicopters.
Intelligence experts predict that Vladimir Putin’s war with Ukraine worth 15 billion pounds will no longer be planned due to the Kremlin’s “overconfidence”, poor tactical planning and the “shock” of fierce resistance from brave Ukrainians fighting for national survival.

Hundreds of people, including former Ukrainian journalist Viktor Kovalenko, took to Twitter (above) to share a translation of the humorous exchange.
In the viral footage, Russian troops are standing next to a tank that appears to have stopped on the side of the road.
As the driver approached, he lowered his window to see if they were damaged, while Russian troops responded and said they were “waiting for diesel.”
The quick-witted driver then mockingly asks, “Do you need a tug back in Russia?” Before the soldiers burst out laughing.
The Ukrainian continues and asks: “Where did you go? Do you know? ”, Which the Russians apparently answer and say they do not know.
“You’re going to Kiev.” Nobody knows where they are or where they are going, “said the driver, before adding:” So far, our country is doing better, your boys are doing well. “
Russian troops are now trying to encircle Kiev and face stiff resistance. Russia’s most important targets probably include the presidential palace in the heart of the city and one of the other airports after the runways at Antonov airport were deliberately destroyed

The video marks the latest in a series of humiliating clashes against the Russian military as Ukraine continues its heroic stance against invading forces.
The Kremlin is believed to have been surprised by Ukraine’s resistance, with Putin reportedly calling an emergency meeting with his immediate entourage to complain that the invasion was no longer planned.
The Russian military has now been ordered to expand its offensive “from all directions” after senior US defense officials said Russia was facing more resistance than Moscow had expected when it invaded Ukraine, including its offensive. to Kiev, and seems to have lost some of its momentum.
Former Estonian Defense Chief Riho Terras has already said Putin’s war will not be planned because Russia is running out of money and weapons and will have to start talks with Vladimir Zelensky’s government if Kiev detains the Russians for 10 days.

Citing sources from Ukrainian intelligence, Terras said the war cost Russia about 15 billion pounds a day and that they had missiles for a maximum of three to four days, which they used sparingly.
He claims Putin’s plan relies on panic in the country, launching rockets at apartment buildings “at random” to “intimidate” Ukrainians, provoking mass army desertions, national capitulation and Zelensky’s flight from the country.
Terras also claims that Russian special operations have been close to Kiev since February 18 and planned to quickly seize the capital and introduce a puppet regime.
“The Russians are shocked by the fierce resistance they have encountered. Ukrainians must avoid panic! … Ukraine must remain strong and we must help! “He wrote on Twitter.
