Wild Video Shows Russian Soldiers Get Ambushed In A Parking Lot In Kyiv, All 3 Killed

Mobile phone footage showing a lethal ambush on a Russian truck in Kyiv was posted on social media within moments of it happening on Friday.

Three soldiers, said to be Russians disguised as Ukrainians, lay dead at the end of a fierce gun battle that lasted for more than two minutes. The footage was filmed by civilians from flats overlooking the scene.

Video posted on Twitter shows a six-wheeled lorry, carrying a twin-barrelled anti-aircraft gun, coming under fire shortly before 7am local time (5am GMT) as it drives at speed down the middle of the road in the Obolon residential district north of the capital.

Four of its six wheels are punctured and the driver appears unable to steer as it careers across two roads, grass verges and pavement before coming to rest on the edge of a car park.

Four of its six wheels are punctured and the driver appears unable to steer as it careers across two roads, grass verges and a pavement before coming to rest on the edge of a car park.

As the truck comes to rest, a Ukrainian soldier takes cover behind a white Transit-sized van 20 yards away and opens fire.

A soldier manning the anti-aircraft gun truck jumps to the ground wounded, possibly shot by the soldier behind the van. He tries to take cover, with his head propped against the middle wheel of the vehicle on the opposite side of the truck from the gunman.

Meanwhile, the soldier behind the white van opens fire on the cab of the truck, whose driver is killed.

As he does so, a second Russian vehicle – a caterpillar-tracked missile launcher – comes under fire as it drives down a road behind the truck. It suddenly veers to its left, crushing a black car driving in the opposite direction.

The Ukrainian soldier cautiously moves around the front of the truck and, when he gets a clear view of the Russian lying on the ground, fires five times, killing him.
