Surveillance footage captured an elderly Ukrainian couple standing up to Russian soldiers who invaded their property in southern Ukraine.

The footage was subsequently shared on the Twitter page of the US Embassy in Kyiv, who labeled the couple "Ukrainian Heroes" in the video caption which read:


"Today we salute this elderly couple who stood up to three Russian solders."

The video began with three Russian soldiers approaching a residence and banging on a closed metal gate with their guns.

After forcing open the gate, the three soldiers proceeded onto the property as barking dogs could be heard in the background.

The elderly couple who resided at the property didn't seem fazed by the presence of three armed soldiers and made no attempt to hide their anger over the intrusion.

The couple approached the three trespassing soldiers and remained defiant even after one of the soldiers fired a warning shot into the air.

The couple and the soldiers continued in a heated argument, just as a fourth soldier arrived on the property.

But the fourth soldier didn't remain there for long, as the couple somehow managed to escort all of the soldiers off of their property, closing the gate behind them.

People on Twitter agreed with the US Embassy the couple were heroes for standing up to four armed Russian soldiers.










There were also some who commended the soldiers for not escalating and leaving the couple unharmed.

It's hard not to be touched by this as-yet-unidentified couple defending their home amidst all the chaos.

Negotiator Mykhailo Podoliak tweeted negotiations with Russia have taken a "technical pause"until Tuesday.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has referred to the negotiations—which have been held virtually—as "difficult talks".

The civilian death toll in Ukraine reached nearly 600.

Ukrainian officials accused Russian forces of shelling both a cancer hospital as well as a residential building this past Friday.

Hunter Biden Asks Blunt Question About Trump's Unpresidential Behavior—And We're Nodding Hard

Hunter Biden had a question for the White House press corps over their in-the-moment reactions—or lack thereof—to the insults and slurs flung by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump at journalists, mostly women and especially Black women.

Biden appeared on The Jim Acosta Show alongside former CNN White House correspondent Acosta and contributing editor for Mediaite and former White House correspondent for AOL and The Daily Banter Tommy Christopher. The trio discussed the double standards surrounding Trump in both how he behaves and how the press approaches him and covers his words and actions.

Trump Ridiculed After Claiming He's Been President 'Three Times'—And Who Wants To Tell Him?

President Donald Trump had people rolling their eyes after he said in response to a reporter at the NATO summit that he'd been president "three times" and won "three elections."

Trump has been president twice and lost the 2020 general election to then-candidate Joe Biden. Since then, he has continued to push the baseless lie that the election was "stolen" from him. Trump's supporters eventually attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn the election results.

GOP Senator Dragged Over 'Blatantly Racist' Anti-China Campaign Ad Where She Smashes Fortune Cookies

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn was called out after releasing a campaign ad about cracking down on China by dramatically crumbling fortune cookies, a move that prompted critics to point out that fortune cookies aren't a Chinese invention at all.

In the ad, Blackburn appears seated in what resembles a stereotypical Chinese restaurant, surrounded by takeout boxes and hanging lanterns. Looking directly into the camera, she asks, "How hard am I gonna crack down on China? Well, here's a clue," before crushing several fortune cookies in her hands and letting the crumbs fall onto the table as a narrator begins to speak.
