A brave Ukrainian soldier who was caught on camera storming a Russian trench and surviving a grenade blast near the city of Bakhmut has vowed to keep fighting Putin‘s forces.
Sergeant Stanislav, a 22-year-old soldier known as Stas, was blasted off his feet on Wednesday. The moment was captured on a helmet camera.
In the clip, a Russian soldier throws a grenade as he is cornered by the Ukrainian fighters, before the shrapnel tears through Stas’s hand.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, still wearing his bloodstained trousers, Stas said: ‘I’m not a hero. I didn’t do anything heroic. If I die I will be a hero.’
He added that the only reason the war has been contained to Ukraine is ‘because we are standing here and fighting here’.
