At twenty eight years old Amosov is a fighter,
not just in the league he fights in which rivals the UFC.
But this spirit of never giving in and having one goal of defeating
the opponent in front of him with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It is this shared will and drive that translates over.
While Vladimir Putin holds soccer stadiums full of supporters through a wave of
propaganda and misinformation.
Those in his crosshairs feel his wrath.
At the onset of the war Amosov did what many Ukrainians have done to
protect their country.
He got his family to what he called a safe zone, dropped them off,
then went back to where he was and took up arms.
[INAUDIBLE].
In a message on his social media, Amosov said in part the following.
I love this country.
Our own.
Russia came to our house and started a war here.
Many people are dying innocent women and children.
We have to defend this country and we succeed friends and
we will succeed because the truth is behind US.
I would like to address those who subscribe to me from
Russia would have shown to you on tv.
You may not watch this is not true.
If I were you, I wouldn't even watch your news.
We're in a real war.
I cannot understand those people who do not believe that Russian troops entered
Ukraine.
I see with my own eyes, I hear it, terrible things are happening here.
Friends unite, help each other and everything will be fine with us.
The truth is ours and victory will also be ours.

He is addressing how Putin's media channels are deceiving the Russian people
to paint Ukraine as an enemy that needed in the dictator's words, de notification.
Meanwhile, he bombs the holocaust museum.

Putin's censorship
of those telling
the truth of his
invasion has worked.
[FOREIGHN].
As is the case with senseless wars, The innocent die and the death toll rises.

thousand Russian military forces have been killed since the start of the invasion.

exceeds the high end of an estimate by NATO of 7000 to 15,000 Russian
troops killed since the invasion on February 24th.
The OHCHR has confirmed that one thousand two hundred and
thirty two Ukrainian civilians have been killed in 1935 have been injured.
The CBC proceeds to provide more details on these folks who lost their lives.
We may never know the full statistics, but
mass graves are being concocted for the bodies.
It appears because of the Ukrainians defiant defense Russian forces
are retreating from Kiev leaving bodies in the streets and towns destroyed.

Vladimir Putin's next move will be to focus on eastern Ukraine though,
with a man as deranged as he expect the unexpected.
