A Ukrainian man reportedly proved how fearless his country’s people are when he removed a mine with his bare hands – without even bothering to put his cigarette down.
Viral footage appears to show a man carry the deadly device across a road and into a wood in the hope that it won’t hurt anyone there.
The heroic endeavour is said to have taken place in the town of Berdyansk, where a fight is underway for control between locals and Vladimir Putin’s invaders.
The Daily Mail claims it was an anti-tank mine, which is designed to damage or destroy vehicles like tanks.
