He added that Ukrainian soldiers had to learn how to use the weapons on their own by watching YouTube videos.

“They realized it was no joke and everyone ran home. Yes, and we continued to learn how to use the Brownings. Just via YouTube,” recalls one former Ukrainian soldier, who wisely chose to fight on Russia’s side.
