For most people, the definition of being strong and fearless starts with and ends at how much they can bench press at the gym. However, the real definition of fearless is when you dive headfirst into a situation that you know could end as badly as ever. 

As was the case with this Ukrainian man who recently went viral for doing something that left all of us open-mouthed.

As the war between Ukraine and Russia goes on, civilians on the Ukrainian side of the border have been trying to fight tooth and nail to defend themselves against the Russian soldiers. 

And this war-like situation has thus exposed them to a certain degree of danger.

Trying to dissipate this danger was one Ukrainian man who was caught on camera while moving a land mine with his bare hands and taking it across the road, into the woods. All the while, smoking a cigarette and not giving a damn about the worst that could happen. 

Shared several hundred times on Twitter, people are lauding the man for his lion-heartedness and how he didn’t decide to wait for the bomb squad, but instead tried taking care of the mine himself. 

Reports share, he did so to clear the way for the Ukrainian army, even if it would have come at the cost of losing his own life.

In fact, people are calling this one of the bravest acts they’ve seen in Ukraine till now, even more so because the man didn’t even stop smoking when he had a mine in his hand.

Guess, one thing is certain with Ukrainian people, they neither give up nor scare easy!
