This is the moment a clueless Russian soldier ploughs over a row of land mines in Ukraine.

The tank, with a white ‘Z’ symbol on its side, can be seen triggering an enormous explosion.

A thick cloud of smoke spreads across the road following the blast.

Footage of the incident was shared by Ukraine’s Office of Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces on Thursday.

An accompanying statement had read: ‘A morning is not a morning without a dead Russian. Have a great day everyone.

‘Glory to Ukraine!’

But it appears the driver miraculously survived the explosion, as he can be seen crouching down in the rubble near the end of the clip.

It is unclear if there were any other soldiers within the tank when the explosion took place.

As Vladimir Putin continues to escalate the war in Ukraine, following bombardments against key cities last week, he has now issued a warning saying ‘worldwide infrastructure is at risk of terror attacks’.

His comments follow the wave of Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions.

The Kremlin has been blamed for the incidents, but Russia maintains ‘sabotage’ is at play.

Putin cautioned the incident had set ’the most dangerous precedent’ while speaking at a Moscow energy forum on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, ‘General Armageddon’ Sergei Surovikin is now in charge of Putin’s battle plan in Ukraine.

He’s already demonstrated his aggressive style of war, starting off with a bombing campaign across major Ukrainian cities.

For much of the war which started in February, Russia has lacked a single empowered field commander and the expectation is Surovikin has been appointed to attack hardline.

But as Ukraine increasingly take back land in their country, particularly to the south of the city of Kherson, it begs the question whether Surovikin can solve the structural problems plaguing Russia’s military such as the shortage of manpower and weapons.

Since the beginning of the war on February 24 an estimated 63,800 Russian personnel have been killed but Russia claims these number of casualties are much lower.
