The defeated fighter who has not been identified sends a message to his mother while he is dying.
‘That’s it, Mum. Goodbye’.
After that, the Russian soldier approaches the injured combatant and kneels next to him.

The vanquished Ukrainian then tries to end his own life by pulling the pin on his grenade.
The grenade explosion left the Ukrainian even more injured according to Russian accounts of the incident with his hand blown off but still alive.
