Dramatic video shows a Russian soldier grabbing and tossing away Ukrainian grenades moments before they explode

A video appears to show a lone Russian soldier hiding in a trench, having grenades dropped on him from a drone.

The man grabs two grenades and tosses them away before they explode.

The video was widely shared by Russian outlets and bloggers as an example of courage.
A video appears to show a Russian soldier in Ukraine grabbing and tossing away grenades dropped on him by an attack drone moments before they explode.
In the video, a Russian soldier appears to be lying alone in a trench when a Ukrainian drone targets him with a grenade. With only moments to spare, the soldier grabs the grenade with his bare hands and flings it away.
Later in the video, another grenade falls into the soldier’s lap, and he grabs it and tosses it away just before it explodes nearby.
It is not clear where the video originated, but it has been widely shared online by Western outlets and pro-Kremlin bloggers and outlets who touted it as an example of Russian courage.
Grenades typically detonate within 3-5 seconds of the pin is removed, which means there are only a few seconds to react.
The government of Russia’s Leningrad region issued a statement praising the soldier’s quick reactions and identifying him, according to the Russian newspaper Pravda.
“We are proud of the courage and the reaction of our fellow countryman — infantryman Alexei from the 138th motorized rifle brigade stationed in the village of Kamenka, Vyborgsky district of the Leningrad region. We thank the commanders for training! We wish great military luck to all the fighters of the brigade,” a statement from the government of the Leningrad Region said.
Russian outlet Signal wrote on Telegram that the video was filmed in the Ukrainian village Mala Rohan, in Kharkiv Oblast, in the spring.
He added that the soldier was alive and well.
The video is circulating online as Russia continues to experience battlefield setbacks in Ukraine, most recently the withdrawal of troops from Kherson, the first major city captured by Russia after it began its invasion in February.
Ukraine has taken back territory in the east and south through a series of successful counter-offensives amid reports of low morale and a high death toll of Russian soldiers.

Meghan Markle delivers first UK speech since tossing crown
Meghan Markle delivered her first public speech in Britain since ditching her royal status and jetting to the Hollywood Hills over two years ago.
The Duchess of Sussex delivered the keynote address Monday at the One Young World summit, an annual event for young activists “to come together to confront the biggest challenges facing humanity.”
Hubby Prince Harry watched on as Markle spoke about gender equality at the event’s opening ceremony. She touched on her self-doubt as “the girl from ‘Suits’ ” while attending the same summit in 2014, two years before tabloids exploded with tales of her and Harry’s dating life.
Markle had a starring role in seven seasons of the American legal drama “Suits” from 2011 to 2018.
“I was allowed in, to pull up a seat at the table,” Meghan said at the massive Manchester event. “I was so overwhelmed by this experience, I think I even saved my little paper place-marker with my name on it.”
“Just proof — proof that I was there, proof that I belonged, because the truth was, I wasn’t sure that I belonged,” she said.
Markle and Harry traveled to the event from London by train. The pair are reportedly staying in Windsor, just half a mile away from Prince William and his family, though the royals have reportedly made no plans to contact the exiled duo.
William worries that the private conversations between him and his brother will be brought up to the media, as some have in earlier bombshell interviews, according to Harry’s biographer Angela Levin.
Markle and Harry have rarely made trips to the UK since stepping down as senior royals in 2020. They appeared at Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June but left before celebrations came to a close. They also made a brief appearance at a thanksgiving service.
Their next stop is Germany for a Tuesday event counting down to the Invictus Games 2023. Harry is scheduled to deliver a speech at a charity ceremony in London on Thursday.
