The video is said to have been filmed in Bakhmach, north-east of Kyiv on the third day of the Russian invasion.

It shows the unidentified man putting his hands on the tank in an attempt to obstruct the path of the Russian military.

He pushed the massive Russian tank backwards with the force of his body-weight until it slowed and stopped.

Following this, the man fell on his knees as locals rushed towards him.

The tank was reportedly a part of a Russian convoy passing through the town of Bakhmach on Saturday.
