Woman In Ukraine Is Praised As Hero After Confronting Heavily Armed Russian Soldier

A Ukrainian woman has been praised for her heroism after confronting a Russian soldier who invaded her city. The confrontation was captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media.

The incident is believed to have taken place in Henichesk, a city in south Ukraine along the Sea of Azov. The video shows the woman shouting at two armed Russian soldiers, demanding an explanation of why they are in her country.

According to one user on Twitter, the woman first asked the soldier:

"Who are you?"

With the soldier replying:

"We have exercises here. Please go this way."

The woman then asked:

"What kind of exercises? Are you Russian?"

The soldier said 'yes' and the woman then continued:

"So what the fuck are you doing here?"

The soldier said:

"Right now, our discussion will lead to nothing."

The woman then offered the soldiers some sunflower seeds and said:

"You are occupants, you are fascists!! What the fuck are you doing on our land with all these guns? Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers [Ukrainian national flower] will grow when you all lie down here."

The soldier responded:

"Right now, our discussion will lead nowhere. Let's not escalate the situation. Please."

But the woman went on, saying:

"What situation? Guys, guys. Put the sunflower seeds in your pockets, please. You will lie down here with the seeds. You came to my land. Do you understand? You are occupiers. You are enemies."

Look at this brave woman who openly asks a Russian soldier: "Why did you come to our country?"
