Watch: How a mobile phone saved Ukraine soldier's life

In the popular video, the Ukrainian soldier exhibits his shattered phone with a trapped bullet and says, "...smartphone saved my life." This clip comes at a time when the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, now in its second month, shows no signs of abating. In the viral video, the soldier is seen conversing with a fellow fighter while proudly displaying his cell phone.
The soldier presumably recorded the video as gunfire could be heard and while he animatedly chatted to his fellow warrior. Russia initiated a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24 after the separatist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk requested assistance in defending themselves against growing attacks by Ukrainian soldiers.
