Ukrainian life

Against the backdrop of the brutal attack in Kremenchuk, Alexandr Kolomiets shared a video below of himself shaving next to an unexploded Russian rocket has gone viral this week. The 43-year-old gardener lives in Kharkiv, according to Caters News Agency. The northeastern city nearly fell to Russia early in the war before Ukrainian forces halted their advance and has sustained relentless shelling. In the past two weeks, Kharkiv has seen some of the heaviest bombardments since the war began. Alexandr chuckled while shaving his beard before a mirror in his kitchen. He pointed to the unexploded missile that crashed through the house and landed right next to him, leaving a gaping hole in the roof. The clip shows the man having a totally normal day, even though a piece of military equipment hangs from his ceiling. The person who shared the clip explained that this is the upper stage of a rocket, it doesn’t explode, it just falls from the sky anywhere. 

The Alexandr’s blasé attitude captivated viewers, who jumped to participate in his humor. One user wrote: “Bro I won’t go into my room if there’s a spider and this guy is shaving with a rocket.” Another said, “A piece? Isn’t that the whole dang rocket?!” A third user added, “Honestly, that would make a pretty awesome lamp once s**t calms down. Provided it doesn’t still have a live warhead attached.” Did Putin try to [denazify] your kitchen sink?” asked another, referencing the Russian president’s baseless assertion that he invaded to rid Ukraine of Nazis.

Kolomiets said his godfather, a military man, had sent him a similar image of a missile that struck a home at the very start of the war. “I looked at the photo and did not believe in its plausibility, because the damage from the rocket was unrealistically clear, following the shape of the rocket, and did not cause much damage,” Kolomiets said his own video served as an apology to his godfather for his initial disbelief, he said.

Ukrainian Humor

Putin goes to the fortune-teller.
“I see the future!” says the fortune-teller. “You will die on a national holiday in Ukraine!”
“Which one?” the Russian leader asks in shock
“It doesn’t matter when you die, that day will be a national holiday in Ukraine!”

The Russian army was thought to be the second best army in the world…
… It turns out it’s only the second best army in Ukraine.

President Joe Biden was advised that he needed to assemble a new cabinet to deal with the Russia / Ukraine conflict.

Coming back from IKEA, he realized he had greatly misunderstood the task given to him.

How do you stop a Russian tank from advancing on Ukraine?
Shoot the Russian troops pushing it.
