Fearless Ukrainians defuse unexploded bomb using bare hands and bottle of water

Specialists from Ukraine’s State Emergency Service defused an unexploded Russian bomb using just their bare hands and a bottle of water.

Footage shared online shows two fearless men calmy disarming the explosive, which landed close to a fence.

The efforts of the service have been praised on social media, as many called them “heroes” with “nerves of steel”.
