According to reports, Hook had started doing TikTok videos in December last year and it was for his daughter.

He also has posted a few videos with his daughter.

His account had become massively popular since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began last week.

Hook has more than 3 million followers on his TikTok account.

Many celebrated his videos as the lighter side of the soldiers who are at the forefront of defending Ukraine from the invading Russian forces.

A few days ago there were also a lot of rumors on social media that Hook was killed in action.

This was after people noticed that there were no videos posted on his account for days.

Last week, he had posted a video that showed him and four others holding their guns like air guitars and dancing to Nirvana¡¯s song Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Ukrainian authorities on Tuesday said that 70 of its soldiers were killed in a rocket attack in a town between Kyiv and Kharkiv.

UN human rights chief said at least 102 civilians have been killed and hundreds wounded in more than four days of fighting ¡ª warning that figure is probably a vast undercount ¡ª and Ukraine's president said at least 16 children were among the dead.

Russia has not given a full account of its battlefield losses, but pictures from Ukraine have shown burnt-out Russian tanks and bodies on the road where they have been attacked by Ukrainian defenders.

Ukraine's general staff said Russian losses included 5,710 personnel, 29 destroyed and damaged aircraft and 198 tanks, all figures that could not be verified.
