How Vitaly Skakun Attained Hero of Russian Vs Ukraine War 

A Ukrainian soldier, Vitaly Skakun, has won the hearts of Ukranian and other people across the world after sacrificing his life by blowing up the Henichesky Bridge and himself to halt the advancement of Russian forces to the capital. 

Vitaly Skakun reportedly sacrificed his life to blow up the Henichesky Bridge near Kyiv, in an attempt to block the passage of Russian soldiers.

Faced with a column of Russian tanks menacingly advancing towards the bridge, he swiftly made a decision to destroy it using mines.

However, Skakun didn’t have enough time to leave the area and detonate the mines remotely, so he contacted his battalion to let them know that he would do it from where he was.

Shortly afterwards, an explosion was heard – successfully destroying the bridge, but also killing himself.

A Facebook post from the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces praised his heroic deeds.

He said: “His heroic deed significantly slowed the advance of the enemy, which allowed the unit to redeploy and organise the defence” adding that he would be nominated for a national award.
