Ukraine Ridicules Russia With Video of Tank Tumbling From Train

The Ukraine Defense Ministry said that Russia lost 24 tanks on Sunday but there's one particular folly that has Ukraine rolling in laughter.

The Defense of Ukraine's Twitter account, which has a blue check and 1.7 million followers, shows a tank tied to another with a cable getting yanked from a train in snowy conditions. This resulted in the tank on the train being flipped over onto its top, rendering it useless.

Here's what the Defense of Ukraine tweeted, stating they could confiscate any Russian equipment left behind.

"Not that we are complaining. But in the future, we ask that the Russians be more careful when unloading military equipment. And to remember that every armored vehicle is potential lend-lease equipment for #UAarmy."

The social media post, of course, didn't state where or when the tweeted video happened. And it isn't the first time the country's defense ministry has ridiculed Russia through social media either.

In September, after uncovering a treasure trove of buried artillery, the defense ministry posted, "Please note that we do not accept gifts from murderers, torturers, looters, or rapists. In the coming days, we will return everything, right down to the last shell."

Then there was a time in October when Ukraine posted a way Russia could stay connected with 70,000 dead troops–a Ouija board.

"So, it's Halloween..." the Ukrainian defense ministry stated with three jack-o'-lantern emojis flanking it. "Everyone thinks about the treats. Perhaps it's time we send an Ouija board to russian ministry of defence, so they can stay connected with over 70 000 of their personnel in Ukraine."

There was also a video in September by the Ukraine Defense Ministry that poked fun of Russian tidiness, or lack thereof, while in retreat or fighting until death.

"Neatness is not the best virtue of the russian military," the ministry tweeted, adding that for some of Vladimir Putin's troops in Izium it was "the last day of their lives."

Ukraine estimates there have been 94,140 Russian deaths since the war began nearly 10 months ago. This includes 380 in the last day. The mark was at 91,150 just seven days earlier. At 3,000 soldiers killed each week, the death toll would reach 97,000 by December 18 and perhaps 100,000 by Christmas Day.

Winter officially began in Ukraine on December 1, and weather for the next 90-120 days could be extremely harsh for both Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky urged his nation to help any fellow citizens whenever they can, not just when they're asked for help.

"To get through this winter, we have to help each other more than ever and care for each other even more," Zelensky said during a recent address to his nation. "And please don't ask if you can help, and how. Just help when you see you can.

"To get through the winter, we have to be even more resilient and even more united than ever. There can be no internal conflicts and strife, which can weaken us all, even if someone out there thinks that somehow it will strengthen him personally. We need more interaction than ever. All of Ukraine has to become one big Point of Invincibility and work every day, work every night. The state, business, people -- all of us, Ukrainians, all together."
