Another brave Ukrainian has been captured on video trying to block the advance of a Russian military convoy.
In dramatic footage reminiscent of Tiananmen Square’s “tank man” blocking Chinese forces, a man fought back as Russian tanks passed through his Ukrainian town.
As the tanks rumbled through, the villager climbed on to the front of one of the vehicles.
