Impolite welcome Man turns blue on the red army

-

Ukrainians have demonstrat­ed their opposition to the Russian invasion of their country in a variety of ways, but one elderly man has made more of an impact than most by berating armed Russian invaders in Melitopol, asking them, “What the f--- are you doing here?”

Vladimir Putin’s soldiers claimed they were met by pensioners waving red flags as they entered the city, but videos of the incident told an entirely different story.

“Who invited you here? What are you doing here? Bombing us? Did you go crazy?” the man can be heard saying.

“I’m f---ing Russian, too, but I live in this country. We have our own country. Don’t you have problems in your country?” Russia’s defence ministry said its forces had captured the city of 150,000 in southeaste­rn Ukraine on Friday. Officials in Kyiv were not immediatel­y available to comment on such reports and Britain cast doubt on the claims.
