A Ukrainian woman was seen on footage scolding a Russian soldier saying that they are ‘occupants’ and fascists.
She also gave them sunflower seeds and asked them to put those seeds in their pockets so that sunflowers will grow from the seeds when they die.
Several footages of the exchange were posted on Twitter, it was first uploaded by Internews Ukraine on the first day of the Russian invasion.
Another video seemingly taken by the woman who confronted the Russian soldier herself offers a point of view (POV) footage of the whole exchange.
Translation on what the woman said
Another post on Twitter offers the whole translation of the video of what the woman had said to the Russian soldier.
The exchange apparently occurred after the Russian soldier told the woman to go away because they are conducting some exercises at where she was.
The woman had asked them if they are Russian soldiers to which the soldiers affirmed her suspicions.
After the soldiers affirmed that they were Russians, the woman then asked them:
“So what the *fish* are you doing here?”
The soldiers told her that their conversation will not have an ending which prompted the woman to reply:
“You’re occupants, you’re fascists! What the *fish* are you doing on our land with all these guns? Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie down here.”
After saying what she said, she repeated the part of the sunflower seeds:
“Put the sunflower seeds in your pockets, please. You will lie down here with the seeds. You came to my land. Do you understand? You are occupiers. You are enemies.”
The sunflower is said to be the national symbol of Ukraine.
