At the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Yurii was 22 years old; to defend his homeland, he chose the airborne assault troops.
According to the soldier, he decided to film videos on his own phone before and after the battle to capture the story of how a small army stood up to Russia.
In particular, in Voznesensk, he filmed the moment when his comrade, nicknamed ‘Borshch’, ran out to meet a Russian tank and fired at it with an RPG. This video has garnered over 50 million views.
"The man wasn’t afraid. You realise – a single paratrooper went up against a tank! Back then, the lads were so fired up that they would have torn that tank apart with their bare hands if they’d had to!" the soldier remarked.
