In Ukraine, woman confronts Russian soldier, passerby makes VIDEO, netizens hail her courage

Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, several videos and photos from the war-torn country are being shared all around the web.

New Delhi: Globally, Russian embassies and public places witnessed major protest from the Ukrainians as Russian soldiers invaded the country’s border, streets, and now entering into the capital, Kyiv. As the attack by the Russian forces intensifies, the people are ordered to stay off the streets for their own safety. Several videos and photos from the war-torn country have been shared on the internet.

One such video went viral all over the internet which shows a Ukrainian woman confronting heavily-armed Russian soldiers asking, “Who are you?” The soldiers in the port city of Henichesk, just 18 miles from Crimea which was seized by Russia in 2017, responded, “We have exercises here. Please go this way.” As the Russian women realised that they were Russian soldiers, she asked them, “So what the f*** are you doing here?

The soldiers were seen carrying large machine guns and a handgun. They told the woman, “Our discussion will lead to nothing.”

Responding to the soldiers fearlessly, the woman said, “You’re occupants, you’re fascists! What the f*** are you doing on our land with all these guns? Take these seeds and put them in your pocket, so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie down here.”

The video was shot by a passer-by and the courage of the woman has been highly praised. Twitteratis have penned down encouraging comments for her bravery. One of the users wrote, “What a courageous woman, standing up to tyranny like that,” while another wrote, They should ask her to speak to the troops, she’ll have them ready in no time to defend our land.” The third user said, “The bravery is amazing! Thank you! We stand with you!
