Unarmed Ukrainian civilians form human barrier to stop Russian troops
The incredible bravery of the Ukrainian citizens continue to amaze the world, as groups of civilians refuse to comply with invading Russian forces.
While the war in Ukraine wages on, more stories of the Ukrainian civilians standing up to Russian forces are emerging.
In the latest video to go viral, unarmed Ukrainian civilians in the city of Melitopol are seen attempting to stop Russian vehicles and tanks from moving towards Kyiv. In a heroic act, they formed a human barrier to block the Russian forces, all while chanting “Occupiers! We are unarmed, this is our land. Leave!” Though the Russian troops open fire, the crowd remains.
Several videos like this one are emerging of Ukrainian citizens resisting the Russian forces throughout Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin’s reckless plan of invading Ukraine is not going as well as he expected, it would seem, as there was poor planning and now strong resistance. Shortages of food and fuel have stopped some tanks from getting very far and there is very little support for Russia. Companies like Apple, Boeing, and Ford have dropped support completely, suspending operations and sales.
