Russian soldiers facing potential capture in Ukraine are being told to blow themselves up with a grenade when Ukrainian soldiers come near them.

“When the enemy is approaching, the grenade is removed and pull out the pin.
“Put a grenade under your body vest or clamp your chin.
“We will not allowed the Ukronazists to replenish the exchange fund.

The shockingly horrific video of the man's final moments actually show his body in more than one piece after blowing himself up – leaving nothing for the Ukrainian forces to actually capture.
