A video shared on social media shows a “third-degree collision” of Ukrainian servicemen on Ukrainian armored vehicles with an anti-tank projectile fired by Russian artillery.

Although not very clear in the video due to the speed of the projectile, it whizzes past a Ukrainian armored car at 0:04, causing a Ukrainian soldier to pull his hand behind his head to protect himself. However, the projectile did not hit the target, landing a few meters away from the Ukrainian armored vehicles.

The footage was taken in the Kharkiv region in northeastern Ukraine, but it is unclear whether it was taken during the offensive that led to the catastrophic collapse of the Russian front there in early September, or during the fighting that took place more recently.

In a speech delivered on Wednesday morning immediately after a speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which the Kremlin leader announced a partial mobilization decree in Russia, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Moscow’s armed forces had killed almost 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers and lost only 5,937 of their own. .

The situation was immediately ridiculed on social media, with several netizens noting the irony of Russia needing to mobilize 300,000 new soldiers, even though it claims to have lost as many as 6,000 soldiers in a “special military operation” ordered by Vladimir Putin on February 24 . .
