That is what I’m referring too. If it was a Russian vehicle they would definitely shown it differently.
I’ve also seen another Ukrainian video claiming a capture of an Russian tank. It was filmed in a similar manner not to allow to identify a tank type, they also shown a Russian civilian passport claimed to belong to a crew member and a Russian credit card. Credit card might have been stolen and military personnel have different passports for id.
How can they be credible?

Ukraine crisis: T-72 tank shoots hole in Russian denial.

This [T-72, but not the one you pictured] variant, distinguished by the prominent Kontakt-5 Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) arrangement - the boxes on the turret front - is commonly referred to by Western sources as the T-72BM.

It is operated by the Russian Army in large numbers, but crucially it is not known to have been exported or operated outside of Russia.
