The tense situation in Ukraine is no laughing matter and the crisis has only been deepening in the past few weeks as armed pro-Russian protesters seize government buildings, but it seems that there is always time for some tomfoolery.
The following video was purportedly shot in Slaviansk, a city in eastern Ukraine located about 100 miles from the Russian border, and it shows an armored personnel carrier (APC) drifting around and lifting a huge cloud of black smog.
According to a CNN report, Ukraine initially sent six APCs into the nearby city of Kramatorsk in the morning, but they later showed up carrying Russian flags in Slaviansk, with RT news stating that “dozens of Ukrainian troops surrendered their APCs in Slavyansk, refusing to ‘shoot at own people'”.
