The video I think you are referring to shows the tank swerving to avoid incoming fire and (presumably accidentally) running over a civilian car.

what i read was that it was some ukrainian pro-russian "saboteurs" that stole the tank and went on a rampage. i can't even remember where i read that now so take it with a grain of salt

So much is hard to verify but I think there's reason to believe that the vehicle was Ukranian. It lacked the V Z etc white letters and it was a lone anti-aircraft vehicle wandering through the city, not something that's put right on the battle line. Again, hard to know what's truth and propaganda. Either way, that vehicle was fairly out of control so regardless of who was driving it, I don't think it was intentional.

It was actually an accident. The tank was Ukrainian and the driver had very poor visibility, hence the swerve on top of civilian (70+ senior actually, that miraculously didn't got any injury) car.

  Russian tank - deliberate run-over. Blast about it from all media channels. Oh, it's a Ukrainian tank. Pfft, it was in a accident, let's not talk about it. That's why I don't read/watch news, especially nowadays.

    I mean it’s pretty hard to avoid the ‘news’ since just about everything is a ‘news’ source these days, but it is fairly easy to just assess the data provided and leave the interpretation for more facts to arrive. Video: tank runs over car. Gut reaction? Bit of horror, concern. Judgement? Reserve

    Ukraine wouldn't be putting 70 year olds in tanks if it wasn't being invaded in an unprovoked war by a much larger neighbor (and no, the goal of punishing NATO for not giving Russia a blank check to invade Ukraine by invading Ukraine is not a valid provocation).
