The T-64 tank appears to be maneuvering in its place between buildings and firing at Russian vehicles. He managed to light one of the Russian vehicles, which quickly led to the return fire from Vladimir Putin’s troops. The video was recorded on a drone and posted by a Ukrainian volunteer unit on the social networking platform Telegram. The clash took place on a street in Nova Bashan, west of the Ukrainian capital.

The Ukrainian army has been able to retake some cities around Kyiv in recent days, and images of dead civilians left in the aftermath of the Russian withdrawal have shocked the world ever since. Reports of killings in the Ukrainian city of Bukha have sparked outrage, with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson saying the atrocities “do not seem far from genocide”. A White House official said Wednesday that attacks on civilians in Buha “appear to be preliminary.” They referred to images of people with their hands “tied behind their backs and evidence of shooting in the head”.
