The statement said:
“Well, lectures to students are sacred, they can not be missed.”
“If there are sounds of shelling somewhere in the background, they do not affect the lecture.
“The sound is like a tractor driving nearby. I always give lectures near the dugout. Just now there was shelling, I went to the dugout and continued the lecture.”
Speaking on this laudable gesture of nationalism, Ukraine’s Defence via its verified Twitter handle said of Shandor:
“This is Prof. Fedir Shandor, giving a lecture to students. An ethnic Hungarian from the westernmost part.
“A serviceman of the #UaArmy who has volunteered to defend and is currently serving 1,000 km from his home. This is what the pride of European civilization looks like.”
