Ukrainians have been filmed chanting "Putin is a d***head" at Russian soldiers occupying a city council building.

Locals in the southern city of Berdyansʹk yelled "Putin khuylo!" at the armed guards, with some draped in Ukrainian flags.

"Putin khuylo" was invented specifically for Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014 by Ukrainian football fans supporting Kharkiv football team Metalist Kharkiv.

Roughly translated, the chant means "Putin is a d***head".

The protestors were filmed today (28) at the city council, jeering as Russian troops paced back and forth.

They also chanted "Uk-ra-in-e" repeatedly at them.
