An angry Ukrainian man delivered an uncompromising message to Russia in a video from Kharkiv on Thursday 10 March.

Kitaets Svyatoslav Anatolievich, born in 1989, says that they are all ordinary citizens who never carried weapons, but that thanks to Russia, they are all united and motivated to fight.

A transcript of his monologue follows:
Everything you see in front of you are the action consequences of Russian army and "Russian peace". Because, this is at least stupid to tell that military forces are hiding in civilian buildings like "khruschovka" ones. Also I want to speak as a peaceful person, when they say Ukraine strikes itself. Dear Russians, I am sorry, tell me, if a tank, that was made on Russia territory, that never have been exported anywhere, wasn't on a sale anywhere abroad, wasn't sold to Ukraine, wasn't sold to another countries. So what we did. We made it, then we repainted it, killed our people, change our uniforms and strike our buildings. Am I right?
I suppose that's NATO tanks. There is one, there is another called "Niva" That is called "Chevrolet". Tank "Opel" stands nearby. And all dead troopers are there. Yes, and all dead troopers. Ah, Hyundai, this a Hyundai tank, maybe a 120mm gun was stationed there. Here is how a car looks after, well, direct hit, you can say that. There is no engine here, even. The destruction was so intense that parts were spread across the district and there is no engine left. It isn't clear where is it. There is Hyundai leftovers.
And this is simply a civilian house, apparently it is almost destroyed and can't be restored. Because load-bearing parts are destroyed. Well, that's how tank "Niva" looks like after shelling. You can see here sophisticated radio systems, weapons, tank tracks.
After all, I want to thank Russian army for not making impossible but uniting everyone. Guys, you are now fight not a Ukrainian army. I am civilian, absolutely civilian person, has never ever hold a weapon. All my relatives and friends who are here are civilians who have never hold a weapon before. But we are all together and you fight us.
Our tractor drivers steal your tanks. Our tractor drivers kill your children whom you send here because you guys have zero motivation.
We have tremendous amount of motivation. We are defending our land here. I am here defending my children, my wife, my friends.
(You) Assholes.
