Ukraine boasted video and wiretaps of an uneven battle in which its soldier held ten Russians at bay. The Ukrainian soldier held the position despite the Russian superiority, the wiretaps showed the commander’s desperation: “Damn it! One guy is holding you. One! And there are ten of you!”
Drone footage from December shows how the Russians are sneaking through the terrain, but they can’t get at the Ukrainian defender. “Throw a smoke grenade there!” sounds from the commander’s radio, the transmission of which was intercepted by the Ukrainians. “Someone should go around him on the left and finish him off, dammit!”
Ukrainian serviceman singlehandedly held off 10 enemies while the enemy commander frantically ordered them to advance.

However, ten Russians failed to do so, on the contrary, a Ukrainian threw grenades at the invaders. “The video clearly shows how the orcs are wriggling like worms and crawling around the trench where our fighter is sitting,” the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said. With artillery and drone support, he won. “Our soldier remained alive and well, cold-bloodedly fending off an attack by ten occupiers,” informs the brigade. “He forced what was left to flee, defended his position and waited for reinforcements.”
