Fleeing Russian forces have been mocked by Ukraine over video footage that shows them scrambling to abandon an under-fire position in southwest Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops filmed the missile strike and the Russian's rapid retreat on foot and diving for cover as more missiles struck on Monday.
The 59th Motorised Infantry Brigade - a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces - said on the morning of 11th April: "Good morning, Ukraine!
"The day should start with a workout, even if you don't really want to.
"As the orcs do not like morning exercises, the guys from the 59th Motorised Infantry Brigade, named after Yakov Gandziuk, did their best to help them work up the necessary energy, organising them for a morning run and push-ups."
In the footage, at least two multi-purpose vehicles are seen parked next to a tree line in an open field before two missiles explode nearby.
As the smoke clears, around a dozen men are seen sprinting up the road as further strikes hit the area, sending large plumes of smoke high into the sky.
The footage was reportedly filmed in Haisyn Raion, in Vinnytsia Oblast, in south-western Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is calling a "special military operation". Today marks the 47th day of the invasion.
From 24th February to 11th April, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at 19,500 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
