shot in front of a camera, a Ukrainian soldier becomes a national hero

According to Ukrainian authorities, the man in the image is one of their soldiers. On the video, we hear the unarmed Ukrainian soldier being challenged in Russian. He answers : “Glory to Ukraine.” In the rest of the video, which we have chosen not to broadcast, he is shot dead by a flurry of automatic weapon fire. Since Monday March 6, the head of Ukrainian diplomacy has been calling for an investigation by the International Criminal Court.

“Glory to our heroes, glory to Ukraine”

In a speech, Volodymyr Zelensky promises to find the murderers: “A video has emerged showing how the occupiers brutally killed a soldier who bravely told them ‘glory to Ukraine’. I want us to respond in unity to these words: ‘Glory to our heroes, glory to Ukraine.'” A call widely followed on social networks, where several thousand posts bloom with the effigy of the Ukrainian soldier killed.
