A clip of the Russian soldier prevailing in hand-to-hand combat with a Ukrainian servicemember had gone viral on social media
Elon Musk has commented on a video of a Russian soldier who killed a Ukrainian servicemember with a knife in intense hand-to-hand combat, which went viral earlier this week. On Friday, the Russian soldier, an ethnic Yakut, gave an interview to RT, explaining why he did not finish his enemy off after he prevailed in the fight.
Earlier this week, several Russian Telegram channels shared a highly disturbing video captured from the body of a Ukrainian soldier which was filmed near the village of Trudovoye in Russia’s Donetsk Region that dates back to last autumn.
In the eight-minute clip, the now-deceased Ukrainian servicemember approaches a dilapidated building and engages in a short-range frenetic firefight with a Russian soldier. The two end up in a fierce fight, with the Ukrainian being stabbed several times.
As the Ukrainian is bleeding out while lying on the ground, he is heard telling the Russian: “Let me die in peace. I want to go on my own. Thank you. You were the greatest fighter in the world.” The Russian, also all covered in blood, stands up and leaves.
Commenting on the story, Musk wrote on X on Friday: “I have a WW1 trench knife embedded in my bedroom wall just in case. 1917 edition. More useful than a gun in close quarters.”
