Video of Ukrainian woman confronting Russian soldier goes viral: Put sunflower seeds in your pocket 'so at least [flowers] will grow' when you're killed

A fiery Ukrainian women went viral for her reaction to a Russian soldier patrolling a Ukrainian street earlier this week.

What are the details? The unnamed woman — dressed in nearly all black and wearing a white winter hat — was seen in a video shared to social media telling off a Russian soldier and suggesting he carry sunflower seeds in his pockets — so that when he is killed on foreign soil, flowers will sprout from his decomposing body.

“Put them in your pockets,” she stoically told the soldier during one point of the interaction, “so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie down here.”

The sunflower, which is Ukraine's national flower, is often said to represent power, strength, warmth, and more.

Elsewhere in the video, the woman could be heard telling the soldier, "You're occupants, you're fascists! What the f*** are you doing on our land with all these guns?"

She added, "From this moment, you are cursed. I'm telling you. You f***ing came here uninvited."

"Pieces of s**t," she concluded.

I'm tired of being lied to, so I judge everything US MSM, Fed.gov, foreign media, and social media say with great skepticism.

As any intelligent adult would. I do the same.

I don’t tolerate anyone who kisses Russian or Chinese thugs, anymore than I tolerate scumbad American leftists.

Just a thought - is it possible "scumbag American leftists" are actually jerking your chain? You wouldn't trust Biden, Pelosi, MSNBC, CNN, etc.. about events at home - yet you trust them to give you the truth about events thousands of miles away, in a language, place and culture you don't understand?

Between this story, and the border guard “Russian vessel, go f*** yourselves, they’ve got some stones over there.

From what I've heard, that is far from a literal translation of a common Russian phrase that means, "that's all", and is not at all impolite when used in other circumstances.

I have my own view and understanding of world affairs based on 65 years of intense interest in this subject and my interest and position as an American does not change on fundamental issues such as the threat from Russia or China just because a moron like Biden is in office right now. Certainly if Trump was in office this would never have happened.

Oh you mean we could invade England because both countries speak English?

I’ve known Ukrainians for decades and they hate Russia and Russians with a white hot hatred.

If they loved each other so much they wouldn’t be under attack with tanks aircraft missiles and everything else in the Russian Arsenal. Use some common sense for God’s sake.

My late grandmother was Ukrainian and I have relatives in Kiev. Maybe the Slavs all look the same to you, but I can assure you Ukrainians don’t want to be ruled by Russia any more than you want to be ruled by Mexico.

I've known Ukrainians for decades who have studied medicine and engineering in Kiev and Russia, have relatives in both places, couldn't stand the corruption in Ukraine, and came to the USA. They just wish Ukraine would be left alone, and could avoid being stuck between its corrupt oligarchs, Russian Nationalists, the CIA, NATO and Ukraine Nationalists.

We should get them together

“I’ve known Ukrainians for decades and they hate Russia and Russians with a white hot hatred.”

Absolutely true. Some people here seem to believe that Ukrainians and Russians loved each other until the Western media/governments turned them against each other. The hatred and resentment goes back many generations.

I had two “BABA’s”. We called them “Baba from Bayonne” and “Baba from Yonkers”.

Tough ladies. One of them told off her abusive brother-in-law, and he died of heart attack 20 minutes later.

I wonder if we are going to see shelling of buildings and apartment blocks to root-out snipers? It also amazing to see with all this stuff going down, there are still civilian cars driving around.

Russia seems to be exercising great restraint. Much of their forces are still in rear positions, surprising many who are used to American-style "Shock and Awe" campaigns.

They seem to be testing the waters. Could be also that the Russian military on the ground has no great desire to slaughter Ukrainians and level their cities to ruins. At some point, this will need to be resolved at the bargaining table.

Another thing we have in common! My grandfather on my father’s side was Ukrainian and my grandmother was Polish, both right off the boat! Very proud of that heritage.

Also from Ukraine. My Great-Grandfather emigrated in 1905 at 14, lived in Liverpool for 6 years, and cane to the US in 1911. Then brought the whole family of 7 kids! And parents over. They had enough of pogroms.

Idiot propagandists whose entire goal is to spread disinformation to shape the opinion of lazy people unwilling to do their own research.

Ask any ethnic Ukrainian what they think of Russia and Russians. I know plenty of them. They all loathe Russians.
