Walking Dead: Russian Zombie In Avdiivka
Published 12 months ago
Strange drone footage from Avdiivka shows a lone Russian soldier walking securely stiff-legged along a path. A Ukrainian drone drops an explosive munition at his feet, likely seriously injuring the man, but his response suggests he is barely fazed by the incident.
It's not clear exactly what is happening here. It's possible he has some sort of mobility injury prior to the strike, he may have suffered some sort of cold weather exposure, maybe he's intoxicated, or it's even possible that he's experiencing severe post traumatic stress.
Ukrainian accounts are claiming he's a "zombie," which is how they've been describing Russia's costly human wave attacks in Avdiivka. Mindless swarms of uncoordinated troop formations smashing against Ukrainian defenses.
