THE noble Ukrainian soldier who praised his killer as “the best fighter in the world” with his dying breath, as caught on camera, has been identified.
A savage knife fight between two soldiers emerged last week in point-of-view footage, with the Ukrainian fighter eventually submitting, bidding goodbye to his mother and asking to die in peace.
The gallant warrior has been identified as Dmytro Maslovsky, 30, from Odessa, southern Ukraine.
The Russian rival was also later named as Andrey Grigoriev and interviewed.
More horrific footage of the clash has since emerged from an overhead drone which captured the grisly fight and ensuing interaction.
The aerial view shows the two men grappling on the ground, their faces and hands horribly bloodied, before Grigoriev sits back.
It also shows the moment Maslovsky detonated his grenade to finish himself off.
Grigoriev later revealed that the blast only wounded the Ukrainian further, so he walked back and shot the dying man to put him out of his misery.
In an interview the Russian said: “When we got into the hand-to-hand fight, we both understood, he understood, too, I guess – there’s only one man out of this situation.
“When we went into the hand-to-hand, we both knew that one of us had to die.”
The original video filmed from a helmet-mounted camera is an arresting insight into the brutality of warfare, and particularly the lethal intimacy of close combat.
After attempting to shoot each other in a game of cat and mouse, the two soldiers find themselves tussling hand-to-hand.
They lock bodies and slash at each other desperately as the primitive urge to survive takes over.
Maslovsky shouts at the Russian: “You came to invade my homeland.”
The footage, and Maslovsky’s life, ends with a very poignant scene.
Grigoriev is kneeling over the fatally injured Ukrainian who says: “That’s it, Mum, goodbye.
“You cut my whole body open.
“Let me catch my breath a little.
“It hurts a lot.
“Let me go quietly.
“Don’t touch me [any more], stop.
“Let me die.
“Don’t touch me, let me die.
“Please go away.”
“I want to die myself, thank you.”
Then, in a mark of respect for his foe, his dying words: “You were the best fighter in the world.
Grigoriev granted the wish by backing off and later expressed his respect for the fallen Maslovsky.
He reflected on the poignancy of a high-tech war reverting to man-to-man combat at the deadly end.
Grigoriev – from Russia’s coldest region, Yakutia – said in an interview that he too had been injured in the fight.
“I was bleeding from here, I was bleeding from here,” he said on video.
He spoke of the remarkable mutual respect between the fighters despite such a savage clash moments earlier.
“He realised he couldn’t do anything.
“He asked me and said ‘let me say goodbye to the sky, let me say goodbye to my mum’,” said the Russian.
“‘You’ve already killed me,’ he said.
“He said: ‘You’re the best fighter in the world, thank you.’
“When I let him go, he says ‘thank you’.
“Since childhood, we Russians and Yakuts have been taught that in any situation you must remain a human being.
The Russian, who lost part of an ear in the knife fight, said: “I had a combat mission to plant a flag there.”
“My comrade-in-arms and I were riding motorcycles together.
“When we entered, we were supposed to plant the flag and stand to show that the Russians had entered.
“Yes, we were supposed to raise the flag, but unfortunately, that didn’t happen.
“As we were riding, they attacked us with a drone, and our motorcycle exploded.
“We continued on foot, and they started attacking us again.
“My friend immediately fell there, unfortunately [killed].
“I rolled back again, and there was a stone shed.
“A [Ukrainian soldier, Maslovsky] ran up and started talking to me.
“At that moment, I already knew for sure that I wouldn’t surrender, because in our faith, it’s clear that it’s better not to surrender.
“In such a situation, it would be better to take one or several Ukrainians with me.
“It turned out he was deliberately stalling for time so the drone could arrive.
“The drone explosion concussed me, and at the same time, he began attacking the door.
“I saw him running towards me, and I met him with a shot.
“I thought, at such close range, I couldn’t miss.
“Then I followed him.”
The savage knife fight followed. resulting in Maskovsky’s death, Grigoriev said.
FANS are shocked Michael van Gerwen has been replaced by Peter Wright at the Bahrain Masters.
Eight players have been selected by the PDC to take on eight stars from the Asian Circuit in Doha next week.
World champion Luke Littler will be among them as well as world No1 Luke Humphries.
But Van Gerwen will not be making an appearance due to family commitments.
A PDC statement read: “Newly crowned World Champion Littler and world number one Humphries will headline the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters next week, with the 16-player field now finalised.
“Two-time World Champion Peter Wright completes the eight-player PDC line-up, with Dutch superstar Van Gerwen missing out on the event due to family commitments.”
World No12 Wright has been called up as his replacement despite an indifferent year on tour.
Wright failed to win a title but did beat Humphries on his way to reaching the World Darts Championship quarter-final.
But some fans feel he is not worthy of a place, arguing Grand Prix winner Mike De Decker was more deserving of a place, particularly after he was left out of the Premier League lineup.
One fan said: “What more should Mike De Decker do to be considered as a pick? Average 140? Throw 3 consecutive 9 darters? The guy is a major winner, at least give him some respect instead of getting Peter Wright in once again…”

Another added: “Is that Peter Wright I’m seeing? In this day and age?”
And a third wrote: “So De Decker isn’t ready for the world series either? Surely he’s next in line after the prem players?”

IMAGES of crowded hospitals in China shared on social media are fueling fears of a new Covid-like outbreak as cases of a mysterious winter virus spike.
Cases of hMPV, officially called human metapneumovirus, are now also rising in the UK, stoking fears even further.
The latest UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data, covering the week of 23 to 29 December 2024, shows a slight increase in cases.
By the end of 2024, virus activity was at a “medium” level, with positive cases at 4.5 per cent.
“So far the peak positivity is a little over what it was this time last year,” Prof Paul Hunter from the University of East Anglia, explained.
“So there is no major difference to usual infection positivity rates – unless they continue to increase in the coming weeks.
“Overall, I don’t think there are currently any signs of a more serious global issue.”
Chinese authorities have confirmed a rise in cases among children under 14.
The situation in the UK is similar, with the highest positivity rate seen in children under five, at 10 per cent.
The virus can progress to bronchitis or pneumonia, particularly in those most at risk – babies and the elderly.
Recent images of overcrowded hospitals in China, with masked patients and IV drips, are circulating on social media, evoking memories of the pandemic.
Other countries like India, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia have also reported cases.
UK health officials have stressed that hMPV isn’t like Covid-19 and has been around for decades since its discovery in the Netherlands.
Most people have had hMPV by the time they are five years old and catch it again throughout their lives.
Prof Sir Andrew Pollard from Oxford Vaccine Group added: “The reports of respiratory infections in China in the past few days appear to be attributed to both influenza and this human metapneumovirus.
“This is rather similar to the situation in the UK this week.”
The NHS is currently buckling under a tidal wave of flu, with cases quadrupling in just a month.
Casualty departments are overflowing into corridors and at least a dozen hospitals across the country have declared critical incidents.
Official data shows that around 5,000 beds in the health service were occupied by flu patients as of the end of the year.
The virus is forming a ‘quad-emic‘ of winter illnesses, adding pressure on NHS services alongside norovirus, RSV, and Covid.
While hMPV generally causes a mild illness similar to the common cold, very young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are at increased risk of severe illness.
According to the American Lung Association, HMPV causes symptoms such as:
If a more serious infection occurs (such as pneumonia or bronchiolitis) it may also cause:
ENGLAND footballer Luke Shaw has shrugged off backlash over miming “your mum’s on benefits” for a TikTok trend – despite being paid £150,00 a week while injured, according to a pal.
The 29-year-old came under fire for starring in the clip with his partner Anouska Santos‘s close pal Molly-Mae Hague at a New Year’s Eve bash where friends drank shots from a £200 bottle of tequila.
The controversial video was met with anger from fans who said it made them “sick in their mouth” after the player’s lengthy spell on the sidelines.
But those close to the Manchester United defender say he’s “grown a thick skin” in response to online hate – and his focus remains on getting match fit.
One pal told us: “Luke Shaw is used to the backlash he gets on a daily basis and has people joking around with him about the fact he gets paid more for being off the pitch than he does on the pitch as he’s always injured.
“Even though the TikTok video was filmed at a private gathering, it ended up going viral, but Luke didn’t have a problem with it.
“To him, it was just a bit of light-hearted fun.
“He’s so use to the abuse he doesn’t let it bother him.
“Everyone was in the mood to party and had a great night- with some drinking Class Azul Reposado – a really expensive tequila that’s a favourite with footballers at the moment.”
The TikTok was filmed to the trending music, Mugshot Freestyle (The Northern Boys Remix).
It was shot the same night as a video of Molly-Mae kissing her ex Tommy Fury was leaked to The Sun.
The Sun has reached out to his rep for comment.
Shaw has played just 98 minutes in 20 games so far this season – with the club sitting at 13th in the Premier League.
Man Utd insiders say he’s working hard to make a speedy return to full fitness after posting an emotional message to fans about suffering a setback.
“I’m absolutely devastated and it’s extremely tough to come to terms with reality at this moment in time,” he said on Instagram.
“I understand there is going to be people frustrated, angry, disappointed and I understand all of that. There is no one feeling that more than me at this moment in time..
“But what I can promise is I will do everything I can to come back better soon to help this club achieve its ambitions this season.”
The 29-year-old shares three children, Reign, Storie and Lumie with his long-term partner Anouska., who’s been one of Molly-Mae’s “rocks” in her inner circle of friends since her split from Tommy.
Shaw signed for Man Utd in 2014 for a then world-record £30million transfer fee.
