Russian troops made an audacious attempt to penetrate the heart of the capital on Friday by stealing Ukrainian military vehicles and uniforms to pose as friendly units.
Harrowing footage captured the moment the saboteurs' plot unravelled as one of their trucks was brought screeching to a halt in the Obolon district.
The vehicle can be seen veering across the middle of the road while taking fire from Ukrainian forces, including a soldier sheltered next to a white van.

The driver apparently incapacitated, it slowly comes to a standstill close to the Ukrainian gunman who shoots and wounds a Russian man on the back of the truck, sending him tumbling to the ground, before firing into the cabin.
Moments later, another military vehicle can be seen lurching across the road - apparently also under fire - and crashing into another car.
The Ukrainian soldier who stopped the first truck is then seen rounding the stolen vehicle and shooting again at the wounded Russian troop who is lying stricken at its side.
