WATCH | 'Glory to Ukraine!' Last words by Ukrainian soldier shot by Russians
Both Russia and Ukraine are ramping up their offensive at the Bakhmut battlefield and building up their military troops in the region. As the battle grinds on, a new friction point was hit between the archrivals on Monday.
In a video that emerged online, a Ukrainian soldier was seen smoking in a trench, when a soldier who is believed to be Russian, was heard saying "die" and using a swear word. Seconds later, he shoots dead the Ukrainian soldier with automatic weapons.
The last words by Ukrainian soldier were "Glory to Ukraine!" before he falls into a shallow hole in the ground. The preliminary investigation revealed the Ukrainian soldier was Tymofiy Shadura.
After the incident came to light, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on Monday warned, "We will find the murderers."
During his video address, the president said, “I want us all together, in unity, to respond to his words: “Glory to the hero! Glory to heroes! Glory to Ukraine!”
