Kyiv blamed "brutal and brazen" Russians for his death, as did his mother Paraska Demchuk, 68. "He would say to me, 'Mum, I will never let them capture me'," she said through tears.

The 16 Ukrainians fought back as best they could but couldn’t stop the Russians from overrunning a position held by five of their number, including Pvt. Oleksandr Matsievskiy, a 42-year-old electrician who lived with his mother and was new to front-line combat.

March 12 (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy bestowed posthumously the honour of "Hero of Ukraine" on Sunday on a soldier who defiantly said "Glory to Ukraine" before being seen to be shot dead in a video posted on social media. "Today, I have bestowed the title of Hero of Ukraine on soldier Oleskandr Matsievskiy," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address. For his bravery, for his confidence in Ukraine and for his 'Glory to Ukraine'." The term "Glory to Ukraine" is more than a century old but came into general use after Ukraine won independence from Soviet rule. It has been in widespread use as a greeting during the war, always drawing the response "Heroyam Slava" ("Glory to the Heroes").
