A Ukrainian soldier's video has been shared everywhere after updating the world from the front line of the war against the Russian invasion.
In the surprisingly optimistic video, the soldier - kitted out in full military gear - says that "everything will be fine."

The soldier's words translate to: "I'm still alive, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, everything will be fine. Long live Ukraine.

As the world looks on in fear at the discourse between Russia and Ukraine, the video has served as a source of comfort.
Neither the original source of the video or the identity of the woman is known, but it has been shared far and wide from various sources, touching the hearts of viewers across the globe.
Sharing the video on Twitter, one proud user wrote: "You can’t destroy the Ukrainian Heart ❤️ No Russian Panzer will ever be able to do that."

Another added: "This is simultaneously so beautiful, and just heart-wrenching. I wish her a long life, sunny days, and bird song. And a stable, safe #Ukraine."
A third viewer tweeted that the video had them "Smiling through tears."
As Ukrainian citizens flee to escape Russian troops, thousands of women have stayed behind to defend their country, making up approximately 15% of Ukraine's military.

Last week, one clip began circulating of an unarmed Ukrainian woman standing up to a Russian soldier just hours after the invasion launched.
In the clip, she shouts: “What the f*ck are you doing in our land?”, while standing just a few feet away from the gun-wielding soldier.
When the soldier tries to shut down their exchange by declaring that their conversation “will lead to nothing” and asks her to move on, the woman doubles down on her warning.
