“A Ukrainian in Berdyansk spotted a mine on the road and didn’t wait around for a bomb disposal unit – at great risk to life and limb, he removed the mine, clearing the way for the Ukrainian military,” read the caption of the clip shared by The New Voice of Ukraine.

The clip has been viewed more than 2.6 million times so far. Praises poured in for the Ukrainian citizen in the comments section. “Removing a large heavy mine like this intended for a heavy vehicle to ride over and push down the button like mechanism, is far safer than messing with a smaller personal ordinance. Still, very brave. All the Ukrainians are,” said a user.

Salute!

Meanwhile, more than 70 Ukrainian soldiers at a military base in Okhtyrka, a city between Kharkiv and Kyiv, were killed after being hit by Russian artillery, reported the Associated Press. This came after Moscow shelled Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, Monday and closed in on the capital Kyiv, as talks aimed at stopping the fighting yielded only an agreement to keep talking.
