(The Guardian) Footage of two Ukrainian explosive disposal specialists defusing a Russian bomb with just their hands a bottle of water has gone viral after the video was shared by Ukrainian media outlet NEXTA TV.
The 31-second clip, which has since been viewed more than 1.8m times, was captioned “bomb defusing process” and shows two men kneeling beside the weapon while carefully unscrewing the seal using just a small water bottle and gloves.
Charles Lister, senior fellow and the director of the Syria and countering terrorism and extremism programs at the Middle East Institute, shared the video, describing the moment as an act of “mind boggling bravery”. “This Russia-dropped bomb would flatten a building — and yet these Ukraine EODs defuse it with 2 hands and a bottle of water, while shells audibly land nearby,” Lister said. “Mind boggling bravery.”
