(This is not technically news because the story is from some time ago)
This is an example of what true heroes are and how everyday boys become guerillas.
Two 16-year boys sabotaged a railroad supplying russian troops. They were detained and electrocuted for days, had immitated execution and they were told confess they are working for the Ukrainian SBU. Once they were let go their parents tried getting them out of the region but were themselves imprisoned. Ultimately they were told they cannot leave the region despite EU pressure to let them come to Ukraine.
Then an armed colaborative „policeman“ came to them. An hour later they had killed him with a knife, took his rifle and shot another person (Ukraine claims that to be a member of the military). They made a video saying they are wounded and death is coming and were killed soon after.
Ukraine has appealed their death as an extrajudicial execution. Their bodies have never been shown and there was no funeral. The suspected cause is so that it is not obvious that they were executed instead of being detained, the exact details of their death are unknown. Their parents were imprisoned and tortured themselves afterwards.
In their honor teo streets have been named and there is a motion to rename the school they were attending in their honor.
This all happened to two 16-year old kids. Glory to the Heroes!
Heros.
Heroes!
Oh my God I remember the video. I remember his face. The kid was about to hold his last stand. His youth, his resolve and apparent absence of fear have stuck with me since. I don’t think I’ll ever forget him.
Schools are so often named after inconsequential bullshit. I wish I went to a school named after someone like those kids.
Heroiam slava.
Fucking heroes. at 16 yo, they have more than the russian army as a whole.
Heroes. What are their names?
Glad these heroes took the enemy with them before going down. Kids aren’t stupid, I bet these boys knew what was coming after the rail sabotage and release from torture.
I wish my life could have as much meaning as these young men showed.
Courage is a crazy thing. To think 16 year olds have more than many that fled or refuse to fight back.
