This is Viacheslav Drofa, who is playing a dual role in Ukraine's war against Russian invasion.

Drofa is a rapper-turned-soldier following Russia's invasion of Ukraine although he still calls himself a musician and a part-time military personnel.

Drofa, who goes by the the stage name 'Otoy', published a rap song 'Find My Country' on Youtube to draw international attention to the war.

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February this year, Drofa has been a part of fighting on ground and made multiple ammunition runs in east Ukraine.

The 23-yr-old says who says music helps him cope with the stress of combat, has written many lyrics in his new collection of music while taking cover from Russian shelling and air strikes.

For Drofa, it is the music of war, music filled with rage and indignation about Russia's invasion of his country which puts words on the horror of the conflict.
