A heroic Ukrainian woman driver scolded a Russian military invader when he demanded to see her passport.
She refused before calling him a “terrorist” for occupying her country and brandishing a machine gun in her face.
The bitter exchange was on a pot-holed track in Sumy region amid Vladimir Putin’s campaign to take control of Ukraine.
The unnamed woman demanded the Russian soldier remove his mask so she could see the face of the occupier.
"Take your mask off! I just want to see what kind of person you are, aiming your machine gun at a woman,” she told him as she filmed the incident.
He replied: “Why should I take my mask off?”
The driver replied: “And why shall I show you my passport?
“I am a citizen of Ukraine, and according to the Constitution of Ukraine I can drive freely without a passport.
“And why do we have to show our passports to terrorists?
“I am a citizen of Ukraine. I was born here! Here, this is the land I was born, do you understand?
“Why did you come - to kill my father, my children? Who the hell are you? Why are you stopping me on my land?”
The invader mumbled: “This is not for you…”
And the Russian soldier asked: “Why should I take my mask off?”
She came back: “And why shall I show you my passport?”
When she challenged him on why the Russians needed a document check, he replied: “I don’t know, perhaps you came here to kill us.”
The occupying Russian soldier had ordered her to show her documents and open the boot of her car.
The video ended before it is clear how the matter was resolved.
