I am Ukrainian and your serious face while you watching this is even funnier than the video itself.
So here is a little insight into what this video actually is:
It's essentially a Slavic type of humor, so it can be difficult for westerners to understand, but follow me, as I try to explain
We like to mix our memes like Marvel mixes superheroes in Avenger movies
So the dude is witnessing a russian convoy, it became a part of life for a large portion of the nation to spot such things for UA Armed Forces. We tend to joke a lot about things happening to us, especially when those things are bad, you cannot even imagine how many jokes and memes about air sirens there are.
This dude talk not in plain Ukrainian but in dialect, which makes him more relatable. He also swears in a funny relatable way
The convoy itself is some old shit, moving in a dumb way, to need to explain it.
The second thing we see is ZAZ "Zaporojets", the dude himself notices it, it's an old vehicle, it's unbelievably bad, it stinks like salvage, drives like crap, and, overall, it's a coffin on the wheels, as any road accident will likely end up with fatal injuries. BUT it's ours and our grandpas used to take us fishing on one of those, so we love it, it's pretty much a part of our culture
The next thing is Stepan Bandera's portrait, it takes some knowledge to understand it, but it's the main joke of the video, so I will try to explain:
So Stepan is a Ukrainian national hero, who spent his life either fighting for free Ukraine or in a German prison. We are really proud of him, the western part of Ukraine even celebrates his deeds once a year. On the other side, russian propaganda likes to portray him as a nazi, who took part in the German massacre in Belarus, while portraying the free part of Ukraine as one big cult of Nazis mentioned above.
So while explaining Ukrainian tactics on official briefings they mentioned we use "so-called Bandermobiles" with nazi brainwashed kamikaze crews. But the thing is, the Ukrainian tactic for coping and countering such accusations is to use them. So we turn to memes literally any grotesque thing russians tell about us. We proudly call ourselves slurs they came up with for us. One of our "totem" animals - a hybrid of crucian and pig was originally used by russians to mock us.
So everything that happens and everything this dude says is carefully handcrafted to make Ukrainians smile.
And one last thing: Павел Осадчий(os.pavel) on Facebook claims to be the author. He also said it is only the first test, there will be more because he does it to raise funds for Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Hope it was interesting for you to read
