He could mean the first one that outright exploded after a rear hit. But yeah, if he means the one that got smacked in the turret face it probably survived the hit.

Also notable that ATGMs like TOW using shaped charges tend to be protected from differently than from kinetic penetrators you'd see tanks lobbing at eachother.

Also read most atgm in Syria aren't latest generation and thus can't actually get a kill on t90 (though I suppose a rear hit is always different)

Russia is perhaps an extreme example, but I remember crossing the road in St. Petersburg and it felt like drivers were actively trying to kill you.

To be honest I felt the same in the UK (Margate) everybody was running to cross the streets even mothers with a child in her troller and cars were speeding when they saw a pedestrian crossing.

edit: and yeah Givi died, his whole office room blew up

I would be very surprised if Ukrainian law enforcement has hands long enough to start executing enemy officers in an active warzone.

Saw a documentary of them being trained by the Canadians to conduct spec ops duties, sabotage and the like (and trench warfare ) but that seems a bit far fetched that they trained them for covert ops and assassination.
