Ukrainians continue to show their courage and fight every day against Russian troops since Ukraine was invaded on February 24, dozens of posts on social media show.
A viral video shows the moment when hundreds of unarmed Ukrainians in Melitopol, a city in southeastern Ukraine, blocked the movement of a Russian military convoy.
The civilians stopped in front of the huge Russian tanks shouting "Occupiers!" and "Murderers!", while others sang the Ukrainian national anthem.
The Russian troops began firing into the air in response to the Ukrainians' incessant shouting, according to a video posted by Moscow correspondent Matthew Luxmoore.

A series of satellite images taken Monday shows a new Russian military convoy north of Kyiv, stretching for about 40 miles (64 km).
According to Maxar Technologies, the images also show additional deployments of ground forces and helicopter units in southern Belarus, less than 20 miles (32 km) north of the Ukrainian border, Reuters reported.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, hundreds of citizens have shown courage and patriotism in the face of the attack commanded by Russian President Vladimir Putin. So far, Ukrainians have managed to resist Russian attempts to take Kyiv.
