After Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine, Russian troops in large numbers breached the Ukrainian borders and seized several parts of the country. Amidst all the chaos, a footage has emerged on social media depicting a Ukrainian woman bravely confronting heavily armed Russian soldiers, asking "Why did you come to our country?" The woman also offered the soldiers some sunflower seeds to put in their pockets so that flowers would grow when they die on Ukrainian land.
