The video, shot by Ukrainian drone operators, shows the calmness of a Russian soldier throwing his comrade after a Ukrainian artillery shell fell next to them.

In just 23 seconds of footage, two Russian servicemen are seen moving together, presumably near the front line, before a shell fired by the Ukrainians lands a few meters away.

One of the two Moscow soldiers falls to the ground and seems unable to get up. After his companion tries to “pull” him for a few seconds, he gives up and looks further down the road.

It is not entirely clear whether the Russian soldier was killed by the impact or simply seriously injured, as the footage appears to show him still moving around 00:12-00:13. But seconds later, a second Ukrainian shell landed right where he was, killing him, if he was still alive.

However, another Russian soldier had already moved a considerable distance from the place of impact when the second projectile fell.

The footage is also notable for the fact that the surviving Russian soldier doesn’t seem too concerned about coming under fire from Ukrainian gunners, still moving at a leisurely pace and showing no signs of worry or fear as usual. in such situations.

Russian soldiers are showing increasingly strange behavior at the front

Another video posted on social media by the Ukrainian armed forces last week showed two Russian soldiers barely reacting after the first drone-launched bomb fell and exploded in close proximity to them, before both slowly walking away from the blast site , unclear. behavior in view of the danger in which they found themselves.

Then one of them stood directly in the path of the second bomb, which the Ukrainians launched from a drone, and died.

A third video that surfaced on social media platforms earlier this Tuesday also captured an almost surreal moment, showing a group of Russian soldiers hiding in a funnel, waiting for a Ukrainian-launched grenade to fall on them, making no attempt to run for their lives.

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

It is not entirely clear whether this inexplicable behavior of the Moscow military is due to psychological problems that arose after months of fighting at the front, lethargy caused by the cold in Ukraine and the lack of winter equipment, or a combination of the two factors.
