The above image appeared on March 5th, 2022. It shows Russian soldiers trapped in an elevator in Ukraine.

Imagine being trapped in an elevator on enemy territory. I bet it must have been a very scary moment. What even made them make such a decision? They should probably have used the stairs instead, better get tired than caged.

The soldiers in the picture were climbing to the top of a building in Ukraine. They wanted to clear the building and take better shots from above.

The Ukrainian building administration saw them and decided to stop the elevator. They then used an industrial camera to take the picture. At the time of writing, it’s a little over a month since the soldiers were trapped. So what happened to them?

Legends say they are still there to this day. I can’t imagine the state and smell of the elevator.

Since Ukraine is huge, the transport system isn’t as it used to be. Currently, normalcy isn’t there in Ukraine. So the thought of being trapped for good is very likely.

This source says the Ukrainian Army captured the soldiers. They were informed of the incident and came to pick them up.
