Change language:
As all the world’s attention is on Ukraine, stories about their heroes are told.
Two soldiers died in the Kárpátalja region (Transcarpathia), Ukraine, in the war against the Russian troops. One of the victims was a 29-year-old Hungarian soldier. The man served in the Ukrainian navy, and he lost his life in Ochakov, leaving his wife and two children behind, writes kronikaonline.ro. Sándor Kis joined the military when he was only 18 years old, in 2012. During the Russian operations to occupy Crimea, he served on a Ukrainian warship that was the last one occupied by Russian soldiers. Even a movie commemorates the heroic soldiers, in which Sándor played a smaller role. Another soldier, who died in the tragic event, was very young. He lost his life at the age of 22.
Another soldier’s tragic passing made headlines as well. He volunteered to undermine a bridge to slow down the Russian troops. Unfortunately, he did not have time to leave the bridge and blew it up, sacrificing himself for his country. The bridge had to be blown up because it was connecting the Russian-occupied Crimea to Ukraine. The Marine Corps is now asking for a posthumous state military award for the Ukrainian soldier, writes Index. On the first day of the invasion, 130 Ukrainian soldiers lost their lives.
With fake news prevalent across the board, it is difficult to sort fact form fiction. In the end one goes with what one thinks is true and with gut instinct that democracy will win over the megalomaniac brainstorm emanating from a dictatorial leader such as Putin.
