Heartpounding moment brave Ukrainian warrior takes bullet to the head & grenade to the arm but SURVIVES…& keeps fighting
THIS is the heart-pounding moment a brave Ukrainian soldier continued firing at Russian targets even after being shot by the enemies.
Video shows bullets hitting the soldier's helmet, elbow and backpack, as he keeps fighting the Russians on the brutal frontline.
The clip, shared by former Ukrainian advisor Anton Gerashchenko, shows the warrior blasting his assault rifle after surviving what could have been a fatal shot to his head.
Within moments, the Ukrainian duo is hit by an enemy grenade which blasts near one of the soldier's hands.
But the resilient fighter does not give up.
Instead, he ducks for cover, quickly gets up and starts shooting again.

The soldier got seriously injured in the attack but survived and is now recovering, claimed Gerashchenko.
It comes after Ukraine allegedly used long-range US ATACMS to strike a major military city in Russia.
The deadly strikes hit Taganrog, in the Rostov region, resulting in 10 deafening explosions and bright flashes seen from afar.
Vladimir Putin's "Flying Kremlin" doomsday plane was also reportedly hit in the blitz.
Initial reports said there were two possible targets in the bold attack.
One is the Beriev Aircraft Company - which maintains some of Vladimir Putin’s most sensitive planes.
This includes the dictator's Flying Kremlin Doomsday Ilyushin Il-80 Maxdome plane which would be put to work in nuclear war.
The plant also equips Russia’s A-50 Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) spy planes - two of which have been downed in the war at a cost of £260 million each.
The other potential target is the Krasny Hydropress plant, which makes key missile elements and is part of Russia’s Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation.
A large number of fire trucks were reported heading to the plant and at least 10 explosions were heard by locals.
While the scale of the damage is currently unclear, 14 cars parked at the facility - also known as the Beriev Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex - were set ablaze.
Some Russian sources said Ukraine had used its new domestically made Palyanitsa drone missiles to attack Taganrog, but this was unconfirmed.

Other reports said US-supplied ATACMS missiles were used.
Taganrog mayor Svetlana Kambulova said: “The damaged area has been cordoned off by police officers.
“A survey of the territory within a radius of 1 kilometre will be conducted.”
