In the video: Ukraine tries to block a Russian convoy (documentation on social networks)

In one document, a Ukrainian citizen was photographed trying to physically block a Russian convoy.
In the documentation, which is not clear where he was photographed, Russian vehicles are seen trying to pass the man, and one of them was even forced to go to the sidelines so as not to hit him.
