In the latest in a series of viral videos of Ukrainians bravely confronting Russian troops, a driver is seen driving up to a stationary military vehicle and asking several soldiers through an open window if they are broken.

Hearing that they have run out of fuel, the driver causes laughter from the soldiers by asking: "Can I tow you back to Russia?".

He then asks the Russian soldiers if they even know where they are going. And then he reports that they are going towards Kyiv. You can hear them being surprised.

Asked by the soldiers about the news of the invasion, he tells them that Ukraine is winning the war, and the Moscow troops are very good at surrendering, because "they don't know where they're going either."

In parting, the Ukrainian claims that he interviewed “the entire column” of Russian equipment advancing on the capital, but “no one knows where they are and where they are going.” The footage shows him driving past another stationary tank.

This is not the only report of Moscow tanks running out of fuel. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is now in its third day. The UK government suggests the Kremlin's plan is "far off schedule" amid strong Ukrainian resistance.

A Ukrainian military Facebook account said on February 25 that Russian troops halted near Konotop, northeast of Kyiv, had "problems with fuel and supplies", alleging that some invading soldiers were walking around with canisters "trying to buy fuel" and others "demanded food from the local population" and robbed businesses.

“The main armored columns approaching Kyiv are still far away. “This is testament to the incredible resistance that Ukrainian armored forces have put up over the last 48 hours,” said British Armed Forces Secretary James Heappie. “Obviously, the Russian plan is to capture Kyiv, but the reality is that the Ukrainians are actively resisting. It appears that the Russian plan is far behind schedule.”

“I think this was a big concern for Putin and rather points to the fact that there was a lot of arrogance in the Russian plan,” Heppy said.

Fighting in the Ukrainian capital intensified overnight as attempts by small Russian sabotage groups to infiltrate the city led to street skirmishes, and Moscow forces continue to advance on Kyiv from various directions.

But the UK Ministry of Defense said on February 26 that the pace of the Russian advance had "temporarily slowed down, likely as a result of acute logistical difficulties and strong Ukrainian resistance."

“Russian forces are bypassing major Ukrainian population centers, leaving forces to encircle and isolate them,” the intelligence report said. “The capture of Kyiv remains Russia’s main military goal.”
