It's called a PoW. He's a Russian soldier who got trapped and disguised himself as a civilian.

The Ukrainian army received American repair and recovery vehicles M984A4 on the chassis of a HEMTT truck. The car was seen on the video of one of the Ukrainian servicemen. M984A4 is designed for evacuation of damaged wheeled vehicles. The two-door front HEMTT control cabin accommodates two people and is armored. A machine gun mount with a gunner's protection kit can be installed on the machine. The HEMTT A4 model is equipped with a 515 hp Caterpillar diesel engine. All HEMTT trucks are able to overcome water obstacles up to 1.2 meters deep and slopes of at least 60%.
Footage of a tank battle in Ukraine. The battle between the Russian T-72B3 tank and the Ukrainian T-72M tank, these tanks were recently transferred by Poland to the Ukrainian army. Judging by the video, the crew of the Ukrainian tank did not understand where they were firing from, the driver of the Ukrainian tank managed to leave the burning tank.
In Ukraine, they showed a new reconnaissance UAV SHARK, designed to adjust fire and reconnaissance. The SHARK drone is launched from a catapult and lands with a parachute. The developers report the camera's ability to magnify the image by 30 times. The drone is equipped with an encrypted communication system and, according to the developers, is completely Ukrainian. It should be noted that it is not known who in Ukraine can produce cameras of this quality. The maximum range of the drone is 60 kilometers, the altitude of use is up to 2000 meters. The SHARK UAV can stay in the air for about 2 hours. The maximum flight speed is 150 km/h. The UAV has a small size of 1.91 and weighs 10 kg.
For some unknown reason, one of the Ukrainian tanks decided to conduct reconnaissance alone. The tank advanced without support towards the Russian positions where it was ambushed, as it was immediately spotted from the air by special forces. At a crossroads, a Ukrainian tank was hit by a Russian tank at close range.
An episode of one of the battles in Ukraine. In the video, two Russian tanks, taking risks, literally burst into the positions of the Ukrainian army and start shooting point-blank at the trenches. The lead tank is blown up by a mine, despite the damage, the crew continues to fight. Then the Ukrainian soldiers begin to throw grenades at the tanks, at this time the Russian infantry approaches and begins to storm the positions of the Ukrainian army.

Here we go...
Poland has been doing a lot of tough talking and is going to have to respond to this kinetically. I'm not sure this will get anywhere near an article 5 situation however I could be wrong this could be the excuse US/NATO needs to send NATO forces into Ukraine and set up a no fly-zone over Kyiv and anything west of Derp river.
Poland will likely strike at Russian forces in Ukraine and Russia will have to take it.

Victory is victory. It doesn't have to be on the battlefield, or rather, it doesn't have to be during a battle. War, after all, is not an end in itself but a mean to an end. If the Russians are pushed out of Ukraine, it's a victory for Ukraine. Doesn't matter if it didn't happen because a "decisive battle".
Case in point:
And
Russian field units are getting destroyed, don't worry.

Reports of suicides among Russian soldiers in Ukraine could be a sign that panic is spreading through Russia's ranks.www.ibtimes.com
In a war of this scale, you need battlefield victories.
All of which is protected by infantry, which the Russians did not bring to the fight.
What really happened was units in charge of the offensive got stuck at these friction points instead of moving forward. So the forces that reached Kiev were less than optimum. Normally, your echelons and reserves would protect the rear, but can't if they don't exist. Only 30-odd BTGs were involved in the assault on Kiev, it was nowhere near enough when we know for a fact that the entirety of Donbas has over 80 BTGs in defence. Matters didn't help that they launched an offensive with inadequate numbers without air support.
The Russians made the mistake of believing there won't be a fight and they only sent in the minimum numbers necessary to challenge Kiev at their doorstep. The way they failed came as a shock to experts as well. No contingency planning was done, their only choice was to withdraw. That's the highest level of pussyfooting.
Forgot 1971? The US has always acted against India. At the time, it was in 1987, IPKF.
If you can't make sovereign decisions, you are annexed. Historically they were also called tributary states.

You do not need to have physical control over a state to actually control it. The threat of violence or embargo was enough to get what you want.
Funny how the agreement Japan signed "on its own" led to its demise.
What can we learn from U.S.-Japan trade war of 1980s?
The U.S.-Japan trade conflict of the 1980s could provide two valuable lessons to the current Chinese government: prepare for the long run and use the pressure to push for domestic reforms.

Their dependency on the US market and protection worked against their favour. It's also why China is isolating itself while significantly expanding the military.
The goal is a multipolar world, not a bipolar one. So US, China and India at the minimum, with other blocs coming up later, like ASEAN and the African Union.
Sanctions are the number one global killer. Can't sanction anyone without consensus if there's a multipolar world. Plus can't use the economy as leverage either. So people will actually have to sit and discuss issues rather than coerce or threaten, like the US does today.
Countries like India and China are dangerous to American power because our own markets are so big, they have the potential to be big enough to absorb the shock from being denied access to the US market, which Japan couldn't handle. As the world becomes richer, US economic advantages will also wane. It's also why most of the world is not participating in economic measures against Russia today.
Today's world is unipolar, the US has absolute authority, which allows them to destroy small countries at will, and they have been exercising that power ever since the end of the SU. That's gonna end with a multipolar world, so you can expect the US to do its best to stop that from happening.
yeah, in self certified BANANA countries rating they are higher, here they can have some
for their achievement . we dont need west's BANANA certification on whether we are democracy or not.
There will be no Polish action without any explicit NATO decision. Most of the russian channels are saying that there are around 10k polish fighting for UAF as such polish chit chat should not come as any surprise..
@RASALGHUL 's creepy questions wrt India raises more questions on whether he is from India. If you look at the pattern it is more like good cop bad cop, agree on some thing silly & known, then push a abstract one liner question which would require a history lesson.Forgot 1971?

Naah. At most Article 4 will be invoked if at all. NATO emergency meeting is already going on to prevent intrusion of any such weapons inside NATO countries.
It's still not proven that it was an attack or malfunction of Russian missile or missile based on Soviet technology. We have our own fair share of shame when it comes to such weapons.
