The 30-second clip, distributed by the Ukrainian newspaper HB, shows a man standing in front of those who appear to be military vehicles. He tries to block their progress.

The video was compared to the photo of an unidentified man standing alone in front of four Chinese tanks in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989.
The photo, shot by Jeff Widener after the Chinese government brutally blocked pro-democracy protests, has become a symbol against censorship and has been rated by the Times as one of the 100 most influential photos of all time.
