In a new video released by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a Russian tanker tried to keep warm after his combat vehicle was destroyed on the front line.

The footage shows a Russian serviceman doing push-ups, leaning on what’s left of the tank, and then doing various warm-up exercises, including simulating boxing punches. The video recording was released by the 108th mountain hunting brigade of Ukraine.

The new images confirm speculation in recent weeks that the soldiers Russian President Vladimir Putin sent to Ukraine nearly a year ago are in deep trouble because of the cold front.

Numerous videos taken from a drone and distributed on social networks, especially since the beginning of this year, have recorded the strange behavior and actions of the Russian military.

This can be explained by the physical lethargy caused by the cold temperatures, as well as the mental problems that arose from the months of struggle.

Cold problems for Vladimir Putin’s army

In one of these recordings, which appeared on social networks in early February, an almost surreal moment can be seen: the footage shows a group of Russian soldiers hiding in a funnel, waiting for a Ukrainian grenade to fall on them without trying to do so. save your life

The footage clearly shows that the Russian military saw both the Ukrainian drone flying overhead and the moment it launched what looked like a hand grenade to which Ukrainian operators had attached “wings.” However, none of the Russian soldiers made any effort to jump out of the hole in which they were hiding together.

In December, Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted for the first time that there had been problems with the equipment of soldiers since September 21, when he ordered a partial mobilization, after numerous videos shared by Russian conscripts themselves on social media.

A few days later, Putin instructed the Russian government to create a so-called working group to coordinate issues related to the mobilization and training of mobilized reservists in response to numerous complaints from Russian conscripts and soldiers.

In theory, this body, which is headed by Putin himself and includes Moscow’s security forces, should also be responsible for providing the soldiers at the front with the necessary equipment.
