Civilian Ukrainians massively steal military equipment out from under the Russian Forces. When we don't have enough help from NATO, we just take what we need from the invaders
Our farmers are definitely braver than the Russian military, which shells residential areas at a distance
That wasn’t the only case — it’s a strand among farmers
Ukrainian tractor appears to be very effective against Russian armored vehicles
How does it happen? Sometimes Russians just leave their vehicles even though they’re fully prepared for a battle. It’s not that hard to steal something from those who really don’t want to fight
While the Ukrainian military is chasing the Russian invaders, the locals are hospitably taking away the remaining enemy equipment. Then it is handed over to our army
Some civilians are pulling equipment home — to defend themselves from Russian invaders on their own. And what about after the war? Everything could be useful on a farm…
If not, hijackers of Russian military equipment can always sell it on eBay (thanks to them by the way for suspending delivery of orders to Russia)
Finally, it’s a top content for wartime TikTok!
Well, farmer motorcyclists also can steal Russian military equipment
Russian invaders still have enough rockets to destroy Ukrainian cities, but their ground troops… Well, it seems like Russian Army's capability to wage war is highly overrated — they just abandon Self-propelled artillery in a mud
This is not an isolated case. Dozens of unharmed combat vehicles of Russian invaders remain in the field after counterattacks by Ukrainian forces
In peacetime, our farmers will carry sacks of potatoes on the trophy Russian Tigers military vehicles
By the way, if a Russian soldier surrenders and hands in his equipment, Ukraine will grant him an amnesty and 5 million rubles
However, it’s not necessary for many cases when Russian troops just leave their vehicles and runs back to the border — where all Russian forces should stay
It looks like after the war, our Farmers Union could be an independent NATO member
When our farmers have already stolen heavy weapons from the Russian invaders, it's time to take away their ammunition
If the tractor is already busy — no problem! You can always bring stolen Russian ammo by bicycle
Ukrainian tractors should be taken care of. When they bring our farmers plenty of tanks, we will still need them for a bountiful harvest
By the way, Ukrainians were allowed not to pay taxes for stolen Russian military equipment. So far, our farmers may not be worried about the undeclared artillery

The order to blow up the dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant was given in russian. Like all other orders issued by the occupiers since 2014.

Earlier, Zelenskyy had already appealed to the world and warned about the danger of the occupiers blowing up hydroelectric power plants. He called on members of the European Council to send an international observation mission to the station. But this did not happen.
