Russia loses the Battle of Techno House: Ukrainians mock soldier's defeat to a door

A Russian soldier who fired on the door of an appliance store in Kherson has walked away with little to show from the face-off.

Footage recorded in secret shows a Russian soldier shooting a door to a store called ‘Techno House’ in an attempt to break it down.

The video shows the soldier firing off a few rounds, but the door held firm.

The soldier then punched through the shattered glass with the butt of his rifle, knocking out the shards in an apparent attempt to open the door using the handle inside.

The Russian soldier fired off a few rounds to try and get the door to give way

After, he walked up to see what effected the rounds had made, but he was disappointed

The soldier then knocked out the glass with his rifle, but ultimately walked away, leaving Techno House alone

But after putting his gun on the ground and trying to force the door open by hand, the Russian soldier gave up and walked away.

A Ukrainian hiding from the Russian invasion and occupation of Kherson is believed to have recorded the footage before it was posted online.

Online users dubbed the incident ‘The Battle of Techno House’.

The footage emerged ahead of confirmation that Kherson has become the first Ukrainian city to fall into the hands of the invading Russian forces.

Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine’s two largest cities, remained under a heavy bombing campaign overnight with missiles striking civilian areas.

Chernihiv, in the north west, and Mariupol, in the south, also remain under Ukrainian control despite being all-but surrounded by Russian forces and heavy bombing from Russian artillery.
