The situation over in the Ukraine obviously isn’t great at the moment, but a lot of the videos we’re seeing seem to involve the Ukrainians overcoming their Russian invaders or generally remaining resolute and cheerful in the face of great adversity.

The latest such video comes courtesy of local resistance forces in the fields of Slatyne over in Ukraine who can be seen shouting, swearing and celebrating as they career around in a T-80BVM armoured battle tank that they’ve managed to capture off the Russians, who were forced to abandon their equipment and weapons. It really looks like a joyous time for the guys in the short 24 second clip:

Let’s hope that stories like these continue to emerge in the coming days and that Ukraine are able to repel Putin’s forces. Let’s just hope it all stops ASAP to be honest, but I’ve got a feeling that it might a real long time before there’s a resolution to any of this, if it ever happens at all.
For more of the same, check out Ukrainians inviting Russian mothers to come and pick up their captured songs. Bit of a diss hey?
