March 12 - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy bestowed posthumously the honour of "Hero of Ukraine" on Sunday on a soldier who defiantly said "Glory to Ukraine" before being seen to be shot dead in a video posted on social media. Ukraine's military, on its Telegram channel, had earlier confirmed the identity of the soldier as Oleksandr Matsievskiy, a sniper with a unit from the northern region of Chernihiv.
"Today, I have bestowed the title of Hero of Ukraine on soldier Oleskandr Matsievskiy," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address. "A man that all Ukrainians will know. A man who will be forever remembered. For his bravery, for his confidence in Ukraine and for his 'Glory to Ukraine'."smoking a cigarette and saying "Slava Ukraini" - or "Glory to Ukraine" - before apparently being shot dead. A voice off camera then says, in Russian, "Die, bitch."
Sorry for the question but I didn’t watch Oscars last night. Did he get something or not?
Lol
Zelenskyy has a production company that produces emotional propaganda. Are we supposed to believe a Russian took this video and then released it? What would happen to the Russian soldier who had his phone out during an execution?
SykesCharlie His family found out by seeing the video on TV, the kids said “hey grandma that’s dad there”. Utterly appalling
This 🤡 should be in jail
have they decided which one it was?
Seems legit 💀
Propaganda, strange the West can see through this or they are the handlers
We all know Zelensky is a con man. He’s using his country men as pun in USA game of chess with Russia . And Zelensky is making himself very rich. I wonder how much he has stacked up in a Swiz bank account now.
Yes, I bet that soldier feels so much better right now.
Nazi forces must be destroyed
This is the same kind of BS propaganda that we use with that tomb of the unknown soldier to honor all the cannon fodder we’ve sent to their deaths.
He must go lead the line
Gotta keep the narrative going huh?
NEGOTIATE an end to this war!
He is giving awards to youtube movies?
This is a rerun of Afghanistan war. In two years you will change the rhetoric and call for withdrawal.
I saw the video of Ukrainians shooting their own soldiers who were trying to surrender to the Russians.
Used some of the US taxpayer money to shoot a fake propaganda video.
any proof he was shot by Russians? NO did you investigate the video? NO do we have to believe only in the holy 🇺🇦 and its saint Cocainsky? YES we must. How about he was shot by the 🇺🇦 for deserting the army?
Wow, just a shot in the head, and you get a medal 🤡
And this soldier was killed by his own comrades for refusing to go to fight..not the first and not the last killed by his own troops. reuters is a joke
So sad history will forget him
For Zelenskiy the most glorious act of heroism is to go viral on social media
Confronting, a disgraceful execution
And the Oscar for Best Grifter goes to...
Prefer seeing medals given to live soldiers. Minimize more deaths through negotiation. Start with a cease fire.
Is he still raging at western media for portraying the Ukrainian insurgents Mr & Mrs Mulligan hiring a Polish yacht and blowing up Nordstream?
Reuters should be ashamed
Grifter
Слава Украинский человек! ... Не Украина. / Glory to the Ukrainian people! ... Not Ukraine.
Him and those who placed him over there are the reason for those deaths.
LOL
I would of almost guaranteed that this award would be Biden’s
He just won the Oscar for Best Performance as a Con-artist. Congratulations Volodymyr Zelenskiy!
BFD
Pls enough of this shit.
He'd be alive and so many more of them if he simply signed the minsk agreements and protected minorty rights as originally required- no?
Glory for my banks account, hahahaha
Good acting 👏
Nice propaganda 😂
Is that what you have to do to become a hero in Ukraine?
He will definitely need that honor where he's gone 🤦
Zelensky is killing his people for fame and fortune 🤬
They are nazi!! Do your job reuters
