To stop Russian tanks from invading his country, a Ukrainian soldier blew up the bridge that connects Russian-occupied Crimea to mainland Ukraine. In the process, he sacrificed his own life.

Marine battalion engineer Vitaly Skakun Volodymyrovych was deployed to the Henichesk bridge in the southern province of Kherson when Russian tanks invaded, as per the Ukrainian military.

The army decided that the only way to block the Russian tanks would be to blow up the bridge and, accordingly, Volodymyrovych volunteered to do the needful, the General Staff of the Armed Forces said in a statement.

However, he soon realised he would not be able to get back to safety and died in the blast. His act of bravery forced the Russian forces to take a longer route, thereby giving the Ukrainian military more time to respond.

UKRAINE MILITARY’S STATEMENT

“On this difficult day for our country, when the Ukrainian people give away to the Russian occupiers in all directions, one of the hardest places on the map of Ukraine was the Crimean intersection, where one of the first enemies met a separate marine battalion. In order to stop the promotion of the tank column, a decision was made to overthrow the Geniche Car Bridge,” the Ukrainian military wrote in a statement.

 

 

The statement added, “The engineer of a separate battalion sailor Skakun Vitaliy Volodymyrovich was called to perform this task. The bridge was replaced, but he didn’t have time to get out of there There was an explosion right away. Our brother was killed. His heroic act significantly slowed down the push of the enemy, allowing the unit to relocate and organize defense.”

The statement concluded, “We will fight as long as we live! And as long as we are alive we will fight!”

The soldier, Skakun Vitaliy Volodymyrovich, will be given a state award posthumously for his bravery.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
