Fearless Ukrainians Swarm Around Armed Russian Soldiers And Chase Them Away

Fearless Ukrainians Swarm Around Armed Russian Soldiers And Chase Them Away

They didn't even flinch when the soldier started shooting and simply told them to 'f**k off' and get out of their town.

The mighty will of the Ukrainian people is proving to be too much for Russian forces after furious locals took matters into their own hands when they saw an enemy vehicle driving through their town.

In Energodar, a crowd gathered around the small, white car that had a 'Z' emblazoned on the back, which has become a symbol of the Russian army since the invasion into Ukraine began.

Nexta posted footage of the daring encounter on Twitter and it appears to show them yelling at the enemy soldier.

The fighter unloaded a bunch of bullets into the air in a bid to get the mob to take a few steps back.

But they didn't even flinch. There were no screams, no running for cover. Nothing.

They simply continued to berate the soldier, with one translation suggesting they were telling him to 'f**k off' out of their town.

The tense standoff ended with the soldier hopping into the Jeep and driving away as the Ukrainian residents continued to slag him off.

But this isn't the only example of Ukrainians fearlessly defending their town.

Footage, believed to be filmed in Koryukivka, in the Chernihiv region, showed dozens of civilians calmly walking towards a Russian tank. 

A translated caption accompanying the clip on Twitter read: “People stop Russian fascists and do not let them into their city!”

Their brave actions were praised online, with one Twitter user commenting: "Unarmed civilians walking towards a Russian tank! Ukrainian people give the world a lesson in patriotism and bravery."

A different person wrote: "Amazing bravery shown by ordinary people. This video will go down in history."

Another example of this ballsy attitude to military might was shown by Ukrainian news outlet HB.

In the clip, a man could be seen standing in front of the military vehicles that attempt to swerve past him.

The man then appears to move to the side to avoid getting hit. 

Posting the footage, HB wrote: “Ukrainian rushes under enemy equipment so that the occupiers do not pass.”

Comparisons have been made to the infamous photo of a man standing down a line of four Chinese tanks in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.

His solitary moment of dissent in June 1989 remains one of the most memorable images of the last century.

The person involved has since been dubbed as the 'Tank Man'.
