"Their mouse-like nature would not dare to confront such death…" 

"If it comes to dying, none of them will have to die that way! None of them, none of them! Their mouse-like nature would not dare to confront such death!"

These words of Gogol's Taras Bulba are the eternal and best characterization of the Ukrainian Cossack nature. The Cossack spirit.

The Ukrainian soldier, who was taken prisoner by the Russians, killed in a vile and brutal way, showed both the enemy and the world with his last words "Glory to Ukraine" what it means to be a Ukrainian and what it means to be a Russian lowly rat.

The shame of the Russian army is boundless. From the killing of civilians, looting, rape, and whiny appeals to Putin for rescue to the execution of prisoners-of-war.

"Did at least one Russian die surrounded or on the battlefield, blowing himself up with a grenade, saying: "Glory to Russia"? No. I have not seen such a video. And probably no one else has either. Because Russia is inglorious. And so is its army."

A terrible death. But a decent death of a warrior who did not ask for it and did not humiliate himself.

There must be revenge for everything. And there will be. But if it comes to dying, none of them will have to die like that. Their rat-like nature will not allow them to do so. And I sincerely believe that the fallen soldier will be awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine. To remain a hero before being shot is something that remains in the ages. And it is something that writes history. The history of our bloody victory.

After this video, I hope all Ukrainians will say "Glory to Ukraine" in a different way than before.
