THIS is the heart-pounding moment a brave Ukrainian soldier continued firing at Russian targets even after being shot by the enemies.
Video shows bullets hitting the soldier’s helmet, elbow and backpack, as he keeps fighting the Russians on the brutal frontline.
A video shared by Anton Gerashchenko, a former Ukrainian advisor, depicts a soldier firing his assault rifle after narrowly escaping a shot to the head that could have been fatal.
Within moments, the Ukrainian duo is hit by an enemy grenade which blasts near one of the soldier’s hands.
But the resilient fighter does not give up.
Instead, he ducks for cover, quickly gets up and starts shooting again.
The soldier got seriously injured in the attack but survived and is now recovering, claimed Gerashchenko.
It comes after Ukraine allegedly used long-range US ATACMS to strike a major military city in Russia.
The deadly strikes hit Taganrog, in the Rostov region, resulting in 10 deafening explosions and bright flashes seen from afar.
Vladimir Putin’s “Flying Kremlin” doomsday plane was also reportedly hit in the blitz.
Initial reports said there were two possible targets in the bold attack.
One is the Beriev Aircraft Company – which maintains some of Vladimir Putin’s most sensitive planes.
This includes the dictator’s Flying Kremlin Doomsday Ilyushin Il-80 Maxdome plane which would be put to work in nuclear war.
Furthermore, the facility is responsible for outfitting Russia’s A-50 Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) spy planes, two of which have been destroyed in the conflict, each valued at £260 million.
Another possible target is the Krasny Hydropress plant, a manufacturer of critical missile components and a subsidiary of Russia’s Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation.
A large number of fire trucks were reported heading to the plant and at least 10 explosions were heard by locals.
While the scale of the damage is currently unclear, 14 cars parked at the facility – also known as the Beriev Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex – were set ablaze.
Some Russian sources said Ukraine had used its new domestically made Palyanitsa drone missiles to attack Taganrog, but this was unconfirmed.
Other reports said US-supplied ATACMS missiles were used.
Taganrog mayor Svetlana Kambulova said: “The damaged area has been cordoned off by police officers.
“A survey of the territory within a radius of 1 kilometre will be conducted.”
