The Great Patriotic War of Ukraine against Russia, which has been going on for the fourth day, demonstrated not only the special power of our Armed Forces. Ordinary citizens also showed courage and true heroism in defending the state.
So, one of the Ukrainians with his bare hands moved an enemy mine from the road to the forest belt. The incident occurred in Berdyansk, Zaporozhye, the video fact was distributed by local and not only Telegram channels (to view it, scroll to the end of the news).
The network noted that an ordinary resident noticed the mine under the bridge, which, obviously, the Russian invaders intended to destroy.
The footage shows a plainclothes man holding a mine at arm's length with a cigarette in his mouth. Looking around on both sides of the road, he calmly carries a dangerous object across the roadway to carry it further into the forest belt.
Obviously, the hero himself is shocked by his act. Without choosing his words, he admitted that his heart was pounding very hard.
The man who filmed it on camera also did not hold back his surprise. The Ukrainian took the mine as far as possible into the forest belt and that was the end of the video.
Might be fake.
Well let’s check with The FR EOD TEAM. PINGing Squantos, Mr. Squantos, Please pickup the White Courtesy Phone for a message.
Can You tell if this an Anti-Personal or Anti-Tank/Armor Mine.
Let’s try this again...
See Above.
It’s got a real trippwire.
Your thoughts ?
I have no idea if it is real or not. It looks like a fairly simple device, and with the safety pin still connected I’m guessing it is like a gun on safety and can’t be fired. Unless it may have a “shaking” safety that overides the pin and it will explode if tampered with. (Obviously I have no clue!)
I guess a mercury switch would be simple enough for such a device.
Brave or stupid?
The propagandists must be getting paid a LOT to spam FR like this all week.

The captured Russian servicemen are asking to stop the Russian offensive on Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, the Russian army launched an invasion of Ukraine. In 4 days of round-the-clock fighting, about 4,500 Russian servicemen were killed and hundreds were taken as prisoners.
Those who were lucky enough to survive say, “The commanders betrayed us.” They appeal to their colleagues: “I call on the Russian armed forces, the Rosguard forces: guys, stop bombing Kyiv.” They call relatives and ask: “Tell them to stop firing, withdraw troops.” And they are afraid that, being on the territory of Ukraine, they will die from the shell of their own “brothers”.
We advise those who still want to fight against Ukraine to listen to the words of captured Russian soldiers.

RUSSIAN OPPOSITION POLITICIAN VLADIMIR KARA-MURZA SAID
THE ATTACK ON UKRAINE WAS NOT BEING DONE IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE- ABD THAT THOUSANDS WERE TAKING TO THE STREETS IN PROTEST.
Describing President Putin as “increasingly deranged” he said cultural, scientific and sports people were becoming more vocal in their opposition to Putin’s actions.
And he said major political change in Russia can happen in a HEARTBEAT - and that would be a good thing for the country and the rest of Europe.

Kiev continues to hold the defense! Klitschko’s new appeal continues to hold the defense.
Our military and law enforcement officers continue to identify and neutralize saboteurs whose groups are in the city. Said the mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko.

KYIV, Ukraine — Kyiv’s mayor knows a thing or two about fighting.
>> Read more trending news
Vitali Klitschko is a former heavyweight boxing champion and a Hall of Famer. He knows that the city he has led since 2014 is in a real life-and-death struggle as Russian troops attempt to take Ukraine’s capital.
After a night of attacks on the capital, Klitschko, 50, told The Associated Press on Sunday that his city is “encircled,” meaning that evacuating the city would be almost impossible if Russian troops break through the stubborn Ukrainian defenses.

“We can’t do that, because all ways are blocked,” Klitschko said after hesitating for a few seconds. “Right now we are encircled.”
A spokesperson for the mayor later told the Kyiv Independent that Klitschko misspoke earlier Sunday, and that information about Russian troops encircling the city is “a lie and a manipulation.”
The mayor confirmed to the AP that nine civilians in Kyiv had been killed so far, including one child.
Klitschko became mayor in 2014 after compiling a 41-2 record in the ring from 1996 to 2012, ESPN reported. He also became head of the Kyiv City State Administration. During 2014, he became a leading figure in the protests against closer ties with Russia.
Now, Klitschko is again defending his country, watching with pride as citizens of Kyiv continue to counterpunch against the stronger Russian forces.
“Ï just talked to the president (Volodymyr Zelenskyy). Everybody is not feeling so well,” Klitschko told the AP. “We show our character, our knowledge, our values.”
Klitschko said there is an alarming lack of food, and services to supply basic needs for the city’s population are dwindling fast.
“We are at the border of a humanitarian catastrophe,” he told the AP. “Right now, we have electricity, right now we have water and heating in our houses. But the infrastructure is destroyed to deliver the food and medication.”
But Klitschko, who won 195 out of 210 amateur bouts before turning pro and winning his first 27 professional matches, was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2018. He is not ready to throw in the towel where his city and country are concerned.
“That’s why the message for everyone is: Support Ukraine together,” Klitschko told the AP.
“We are strong. Every Ukrainian is proud to be independent, proud to be Ukrainian, and we are proud to have our own country.”

YOUR LINK SHOWS NOTHING.I CALL YOUR POST FALSE
TRANSLATION OF YOUR ARTICLE.
“In the Donetsk region, a policeman was blown up by a mine. The tragedy occurred just a few hours ago.
The policeman was blown up by an antipersonnel mine. He serves in the Bogdan company. The incident occurred near Seversk. About this Chronicle.info was told in the press service of the GUMVD of Ukraine in the Donetsk region. First, the 32-year-old operative was brought to the Kramatorsk hospital, and then urgently transported to Kharkiv. The policeman will have a long and expensive treatment. The fighter has numerous injuries to his arms, legs, and face.
By the way, on September 1, a mobilized soldier was blown up by a mine near Zaporozhye. There was an emergency during combat coordination at the training ground. The victim was taken to the regional clinical hospital.”
The image was ran through tin eye. YOU are false. Anyone can run it and see the image of the mine is an old image. Angry because you got busted? yep.
What is true on your post is that this an actual mine used in Syria
http://csef.ru/en/oborona-i-bezopasnost/505/miny-v-sirii-7163
My post posted the first result (of many in Tineye) The link was irrelevant and sorry I posted it without looking at it closer. Stock photo of a mine. Anyone can run photos for background. Now they know. Suit yourself.
The article clearly reports 2 different mine explosions without image.
First, the 32-year-old operative was brought to the Kramatorsk hospital
Second, a mobilized soldier was blown up by a mine near Zaporozhye. There was an emergency during combat coordination at the training ground.
This rural citizen is neither.
I do not know for certainty. I do not want to make an assumption and hurt your feelings. However, perhaps you are acting as propagandist posting your “proof” with a ‘fake’ article
