WATCH: Ukrainians try to block Russian tanks advancing through their town
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUkrainian citizens in the town of Bakhmach, some 175 kilometers (109 miles) northeast of Kyiv, attempt to block Russian tanks advancing forward, video footage shows.
A man is seen stepping in front of a tank and jumping on top, as it continues to roll forward. He jumps off and attempts to hold the tank back, and it stops for a brief moment. Bystanders then pull him aside and the tank continues, before stopping again when another man stands in front of it.
CNN says it has confirmed the authenticity and location of the video.
“People are begging the tanks to stop,” the voice on the video says, according to CNN.
