A viral hilarious video on social media showcases a Russian soldier's desperate attempt to catch up with an evacuation MT-LB, while the visibly alarmed driver decides against waiting for him and his other injured comrades.
Opting for a swift exit, the driver leaves the lagging soldiers behind on the battlefield.
One particularly determined soldier goes to extreme lengths, sprinting after the tracked vehicle for several hundred meters and managing to grab its rear door. Despite his efforts, he eventually exhausts himself, ending up abandoned on the ground by his fellow soldiers.
The fate of this ambitious "sprinter" remains uncertain, but survival prospects appear bleak under the vigilant gaze of Ukrainian drones.
