Ukrainian soldier faints upon Poroshenko's arrival for inauguration

From what I have been told this is not a rare event. Standing at attention for long periods of time with knees locked will do this. Years ago, I was at a large national guard gathering and a man a table over collapsed. My natural instinct was to rush to help. My arm was grabbed by not only my ex but also several other soldiers at the table, and it was explained that this happens and not to cause attention to it. I was worried the man just had a heart attack :O and no one moved a muscle to help him. The speakers kept on and the man was removed with little disruption to the crowd.

Yeah, i don't think it so rare. I'm sure i've seen a few clips of similar on 'candid camera' shows (it was called 'you've been framed' in the UK). The pressure of performing and then they're usually in uncomfortable (hot) clothing, plus that guy looked young so may have been even more stressed (plus, his life probably depended on that performance! - speculation from me).

That said, the timing was interesting and the reaction by the Sargent (or whoever) was priceless! The 'signs' we will see, like earthquakes, won't be 'out of the ordinary' in some cases, but how or what occurs around the event , may be interpreted to be symbolic. That this was the 'inauguration' of Poroshenko is interesting. I kinda see it like l apprenti de forgeron.
 
Just stumbled upon an article (in Russian), that says, that the soldier, along with the other 9 members of the presidential regiment were sent to serve in the Donbass Battalion as a punishment for the soldier's fall.

The Ukranian media wrote that it was soldiers decision to apply for the regiment, but Novorussia news agency said, that it was done in a "forced-volunteering way", which means in a way similar to Mafia's offer you can't refuse.
 
Maybe a reaction on his presence.
much like the body reacts when it is trying to tell us something, his body may have reacted to this person at that particular moment.
Maybe fear, or repulsion.

It is a normal occurrence, specially if you are standing for too long, also when a light-skined person is under the sun for too long may show symptoms of "Sun Poisoning", and the guy seems young too.
 
Well, the Universe is certainly sending a message, and others also notice the same.

Today is the official flag holiday in Ukraine, and Poroshenko with his family visited church for the prayer service for the well-being of Ukraine. And in this video you can his how his son lost consciousness, similarly to the soldier in the previous video. Poor kid really tried to hold it together.

 
Looks like a blood sugar drop/insulin shock thing probably because of a high carb diet.

I literally just saw that on twitter and my thoughts were same.

Yeah. And did they just pass him on to body guards and carry on looking pious? (and then cut to commercials). Nice...
