Footage circulating on pro-Russian Telegram channels today shows what is allegedly a Ukrainian BMP wantonly crushing a civilian vehicle. The column appears to continue driving as if nothing happened.

This video was recorded in Konstantinovka. It's unclear if the vehicle was occupied while it was being crushed, however the vehicle appears to be parked as it doesn't move. I've seen this happen in person with an AAV more than once, and it's very easy for vehicles of this type to accidentally crush smaller civilian vehicles. There was likely no malice intended with this, regardless of what Russian sources say on Telegram.
