We don’t know who he is. It is not even known whether he is Ukrainian or Russian, or when and where the video may have been made. It’s obviously a drone filming the scene. A heavy fire of bullets and shells crackles all around him, but the individual continues to work in what is more a hole than a trench, as if insensitive to the risk he is taking. The image is too blurry to identify the uniform of this anonymous hero, who could also be a woman. A tank fires from a nearby position, without it panicking or even interrupting its movements. While many Ukrainian accounts claim him as a hero of their army, it is unclear which side he belongs to.
