In the last day, a chilling video was published in which a Russian armored vehicle was seen crashing the vehicle of a Ukrainian citizen who miraculously escaped. After it was alleged that the same armored vehicle ran over the vehicle “for fun”, this morning the truth behind the video that continues to stir the world becomes clear
The documentation that is stirring the world, in which armored vehicles of the Russian army can be seen crushing a vehicle of a Ukrainian citizen, has gone viral in the last day with allegations of war crimes on the part of the Russians. The fact that the citizen miraculously got out of the crushed vehicle while alive added to the drama of the story as well as to the allegations against the Russians – however an examination of the full video, shows that the facts present a completely different story.
The incident took place yesterday (Friday) on the outskirts of Kiev, and in a video circulated to the world you can see an armored vehicle of the Strella-10 type (35 ton portable anti-aircraft system) crashing into the vehicle of a citizen traveling in front of him. Then evidence was released from the alleged arena, in which the locals claimed that the armored vehicle did it “for fun.” But a few hours later, the video was published showing the vehicle completely crushed but the driver rescued alive.

As mentioned, a day has passed since the publication that caused a great deal of controversy around the world, and this morning it can already be said that the video was partial and presented a different picture from what really happened there. On the road, which is about 10 km from the center of Kiev, a convoy of the Russian army passed by and there a battle broke out with a force from the Ukrainian army. So Ukrainian army soldiers fire at the Russian soldiers who jumped from it.
At the same time, you can see in the background the convoy of Russians continuing to advance on the same road, including Sterla-10 systems. After killing the soldiers who were on the anti-aircraft gun truck, the Ukrainians shoot at the same armored Strela-10 that passed there, and as a result of the shooting that sounds good in the video, the driver loses control or tries to dodge, then he hits and gets on the same vehicle as the Ukrainian citizen.
At this point, as can be seen in the video, soldiers from the Ukrainian army approach the truck they hit earlier, and shoot at the Russian soldiers, then the same armored vehicle that hit the Ukrainian vehicle leaves the place, apparently escaping from the Ukrainians. The full video then is a testament to the fog of battle prevailing in this war, as in any war. Both sides are waging a war of consciousness and psychological warfare alongside the battles on the ground. Therefore, any information or image that comes out of it should be treated with caution. It will probably take a few more days, until we know exactly what is happening in Ukraine.
