Ukraine's Youngest MP Takes Up Russian Origin AK-47 Assault Rifle To Fight Against Russia

New Delhi: Since, the ongoing the war between Russia and Ukraine is escalating day by day, many Ukrainian citizens, including some big personalities of the country have taken up arms to save their country from Russian invasion.

One of these, a name has emerged, who reportedly, has taken up arms to give a befitting reply to Russian soldiers. He is identified as Ukraine's Youngest MP Sviatoslav Yurash.

Several pictures of him with AK 47 are going viral on social media sites. In these pictures, the 26-year-old, can be seen standing with AK-47 proudly and said that he can't just be a mere spectator of what Russia is doing to his country.

While speaking to BBC Radio 4, he claimed that Ukraine is largest country in the Europe with a population of 40 million.

''We will fight with everything that have and with all help which we get from the rest of the world,'' he was quoted as saying by BBC Radio 4.

Meanwhile, the interesting part is that the AK-47 with which he is carrying is a Russian origin assault rifle.

AK47 is Automatic Kalashnikov-47 which was made in 1947. It was invented by Mikhail Kalashnikov, however, never made money from this invention. Interestingly, Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov was a Soviet and Russian lieutenant general, inventor, military engineer, writer, and small arms designer.

The rifle is so powerful that it can pierce some walls, even the metal door of the car and kill the person sitting behind it.

The bullet comes out of the barrel with a speed 710 per second. Since, it requires no special training to operate it and easy to clean and maintain, could be one of the reasons that why it remains the first choice of terrorists.

Notably, in wake of war in the country, the Ukrainian government had previously proclaimed that anyone who wanted to take up arms would be assisted. Following this inhabitants of Ukraine are already assembling at recruitment stations.

Apart from this youngest MP, earlier, a former Miss Ukraine Anastasia Lenna had joined the military forces of her country Ukraine to fight against Russia and protect her nation. She is known as the beauty queen who represented Ukraine in the Miss Grand International beauty contest held in the year 2015.

In the previous week, when the Russian started attacking Ukraine with explosions in the major cities of the country, Lenna took up arms to fight this war.

On Saturday 26 February Lenna posted a picture of herself on the social media platform Instagram where she was seen carrying a rifle and wearing military gear.

In an Instagram story shared by the former Miss Ukraine, she warned the Russian forces and said that anyone who crosses the Ukrainian border with the intention to invade the country will be killed.
