Translation is supposed to be:

Soldiers say they are out of gas. Driver offers to tow them back to russia. Everyone laughs. Russian soldiers ask for news on how they are doing in war. Driver tell them that Ukraine is winning, russians are surrendering and impliest that they should too.

I've seen a number of these videos over the last 24 hours of Russian soldiers who are confused and out of their depths.

This might be turning into a real PR disaster for Russia.

If that is a good thing or a very bad I cannot say yet.

Edit:Some Ukrainian in the comment ask about the friendly tone, but I think it was brilliant: he managed to both troll them friendly (after all Russians should be friendly to Ukrainians) and he got away alive to upload the video.

Now this tank is a sitting duck and hopefully they will surrender to police troops in short time like so many others who've been sent out on this hopeless mission.

Let's hope the west can welcome every Russian who has the courage to not participate in this madness.

As long as the idiots at the top don't push the big button? Let the soldiers go. They don't seem to be too motivated to go killing -- appreciated!

1941 my grandfather was send to the eastern front. Aged 17. The Russians could have easily killed him in revenge. They shared their rotten potatos -- all what was left for everybody there. And in the end they send him home, without detention. He got sick anyway, became an adult in war, he had to walk back from Russia and only reached Schleifreisen in Thuringia, were a family took care of him (otherwise he would have died, 200km from home)... but at least the Russians back than showed mercy. Otherwise I wouldn't exist.

Young men shouldn't go to war: party, find love, get too old for war.

Great sense of humor but unfortunately we all know how this will end.

You mean either they get captured or shot like the sitting ducks they are right now?

Or do you still think the teapots back in Kreml have evil master plan that includes winning by leaving their young ones stuck in the mud, out of fuel, roasted (literally) and talked to (roasted) by angry grandmas?

No. I meant that Ukraine will be under complete Russian control within weeks.

So did Germans think when they entered St. Petersburg.

Its amazing what happens to people when they have their backs against the wall, but in this case it doesn't even look like the military genious of Hitler at the time but rather like a very sloppy attept.

Late edit: point is at this point, Russia is in the shoes of the mad aggressor. If we survive this Germans will be forever thankful as they will not forever be the bad guys in every video game and movie.

Well, that is if noone inside Russia can put an end to this madness somehow: weld the door of Putins bunker after cutting all telephone and internet cords maybe ;-)
