So: Major Ivanov of the mighty Russian Army was ordered to take a hill in Ukraine. He marched his regiment to the foot of the hill, and when they were in place, a voice rang out from the other side of the hill: "One Ukrainian soldier can take on ten Russians!"
Major Ivanov chose ten elite soldiers and ordered them over the hill. There were sounds of a brief battle, then silence. A voice called out in the stillness: "One Ukrainian soldier cane take on one hundred Russians!"
And so Major Ivanov ordered one hundred soldiers over the hill. There were sounds of battle, and then silence. And in the silence, a voice called out: "One Ukrainian soldier can take on a thousand Russians!"
Enraged, Major Ivanov sent a thousand soldiers over the hill. The battle lasted for more than an hour, and when the smoke and dust drifted away, one last surviving Russian soldier clawed his way to the top of the hill, and called down to Ivanov:
"Major, we have been misinformed! There are TWO Ukrainian soldiers!"
Slava Ukraini.
PS: This is an old, recycled joke. The first time I heard it, the punchline was "...there are TWO Israeli soldiers!"
