Unarmed Ukrainians try to push back Russian troops

Unarmed people in Ukraine have been filmed attempting to stop Russian vehicles with their bodies in a string of defiant acts. In the south-eastern city of Melitopol people pushed on Russian military vehicles with their bare hands, while in the north-east Kupyansk residents jumped on a Jeep with Russian markers to fight the Russian occupation. There were reports of fierce shelling in the northern city of Chernihiv, where people were filmed singing the Ukrainian national anthem and standing in front of tanks.
