Everyday bravery is on display in Ukraine as powerful video harkening back to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests shows Ukrainians trying to stop Russian tanks with only their bodies.

Video filmed in the northeastern Ukrainian town of Bakhmach shows unnamed men confronting a line of invading Russian tanks.

Tiananmen square my butt

[PGR88]

Not a winning strategy.

Give it a rest already with the fake martyrdom 🤪

It kinda shows the Russians avoiding civilian casualties.

Canada would just run them down with horses.

[\/\/ayne]

Where are the grenades, rocket launched anti-tank grenades and molotov cocktails?

“... kinda shows the Russians avoiding civilian casualties.

Bruh! You are spot on.

[Rebelbase]

OK tactic if the molotov cocktails come from the side and rear.

I have been pointing that truth out to my coworkers. The Russian troops are going to extravagant measures NOT to kill. However, if these civilians start doing stupid stuff, like Molotov cocktails, they might find what those really big barrels on the tanks are for. Just because you hand out an AK to a bunch of civilians, doesn't mean they can take on tanks in the street.

Just like the one apartment building that got hit with a rocket, if the Russians really wanted to end this, there would be few tall buildings left.

Haven’t they been instructed to throw Molotov cocktails at them?

[proust]

Those molotov cocktails are no joke, they took out two Russian transports.

[cdcdawg]

That’s a hard truth to hear, but that’s the way things are.

[dforest]

This is mostly BS, Cut it out.

[McGavin999]

Actually I kind of feel sorry for those Russian kids, they don’t want to be there, many of them have extended family in Ukraine.

Funny story, I doubt it’s true but it’s really funny. The Ukrainians don’t torture captured Russian soldiers, they make them call their parents.

[quikstrike98]

“However, if these civilians start doing stupid stuff...” What, like fight for their freedoms?

[God luvs America]

Did you see the video of the Ukrainian woman confronting the Russian soldier that went viral?? She calls hims a effing piece of sh!t in the video? The soldier seems almost apologetic and pleads with her to go away.

[dforest]

These two have graciously volunteered for the might Ukraine military.

[Reily]

Actually, I hope it’s true because Information Ops-wise - It’s damn clever!

[pepsi_junkie]

Are they suggesting the Putin and the Russians are so well behaved and considerate that they would not risk a single life? Because until yesterday all I heard was Putin and Russia were the next Nazi Germany.

[wbarmy]

Stupid stuff is trying to sneak up on a tank with a Molotov, especially when IFVs are right behind. Smart stuff is sitting on the overpass with a Dragunov and pocking the tank commander. Makes them all seal up and their combat ability goes down. Then you sneak up with the Molotov or the ATM.

I saw a video today somewhere, where they had got a russian supply truck and it had all kinds of goodies in it. On the ground was a pile of hand grenades the Ukrainians had piled up and what were the Ukrainians doing? Standing around taking pictures with their cells phone.

WTH? I just about started yelling pick them GD things up and distribute them to your fighters.
