Couldn’t be have just, you know, walked around it? Seems to be a human-sized gap there. Work smarter, not harder there Ivan.

Edit: Fuck Russia, I hope he was able to get away from them and is still fighting.

I know this conflict is still VERY real and unfolding, but watching the invasion happen in real time over social media was so surreal.

I remember that day very well. Which is weird considering my memory is so bad that I don't remember what I was doing 2 days ago LOL

Major world moment. Shapes the course we're on. All of us, and we're just spectators, some of us actors.

I’d have gone for the commando roll beneath the barrier, personally.

This picture has been widely published and doesn't show a Russian invading Ukraine. This is one of the Ukrainian border guards responding to the incoming Russian army. These border guards were the first casualties of the war.

It's a Ukrainian soldier. Weird how that little bit of info was left out of the title. He's running away from advancing Russians, which is why he's looking back.
I wonder if you're going to edit your comment now.

yep i was following a osint discord and someone said 3 hours before the invasion that a russian minister leaked that the invasion was going to start at 3am. and then at 3:12am ukraine time someone else pointed out that theres heavy traffic on google maps at the ukraine border

I remember staying up on my phone the night of Feb 23rd. I got notifications that tanks were rolling minutes after it started. I was probably one of the first few thousand people outside of the region to hear about it, which astounds and scares me.

Those early days of fighter jets burning full throttle over populated areas were surreal. I'm glad it wasn't the opening stages in a larger conflict, and I'm glad that I won the "Ukraine won't last two weeks bet"
You still owe me 20 bucks Nick, you scoundrel.

The fucked up thing is it doesn't feel like a year ago when we all seen this picture, feels like about 5 months at most

Is this referencing events in 2022? Or is this footage from 2014 or before the Crimea invasion?

Our brain most strongly remembers novel experiences. If you've done the same thing over and over again it all kind of blends together, but something new sticks out. This is also why time seems to pass more quickly as you get older, you're having less novel experiences.
Watching the invasion realtime is something none of us have experienced before and was really stressful for most people. It was also smack in the middle of a time where most people had really boring day-to-day lives due to pandemic restrictions, so it REALLY sticks out.

Per other comments, the dude is actually a Ukranian border guard.
Welcome to Reddit.

Right!
Well the headline does not specify that this is the Russian crossing the border.
Fuck me I guess.

Was this an osint discord related to the invasion, or more of a general osint discord?

General osint but they had a channel dedicated to the invasion

Watching traffic cameras all across northern Ukraine, seeing tank columns roll through real time. And then the cameras started to shut off, one after the other.
It was a fucking weird period of time. And not a terribly happy one.

I prefer the four limbed scrambling motion. Maintains momentum if you're good at it, and if you fall it isn't that much further to hit the ground and get back up.
