  1. Full interview right here. He was on the Maidan back then his first child wasn’t a year old. A day after she became one year old he joined army and became a medic. His first mission was in Donetsk airport. There were a lot of wounded.

    97-98% of the times people get wounded from the shrapnel. Many people get wounded from mistakes, the most dangerous moments when you enter or leave combat. Running away even more dangerous because there’re enemies who will shoot at you.

    Some solider lay on the ground and got wounded, he stood up to check himself and the next shell got him.

    A common mistake is disregard for treatment during combat. Like use a tourniquet and or you will bleed out quickly.

    The journalists asks him about WW1 similarities (he served on the south of Bakhmut) and he said that wet terrain, mud and rain the worst. It’s so miserable, people fall on the ground to take cover and they just sink in the mud. It’s so miserable that they become like a zombie that don’t care, they stand up and just go not taking cover anymore. Those types of evacs are the most hard.

    He also talks a lot that Russians don’t have any regards to their soldiers life and use them as meat because in the Soviet army the medical treatment was 30km away from the frontlines. He was always amazed by it, most of them will just die on the road and he thinks it’s because wounded personal is a burden for a Russian state.

    He also describes a lot of horrors like a dude that lost his hand and he tried to help him and wounded said that it wasn’t his biggest concern. There was something horrible with his leg, I didn’t get it and I don’t think I want to know

  2. You can see in his eyes he’s been through a lot – and will be dealing with all of it for the rest of his life.

    In arduis fidelis.

  3. This type of content needs to be shared, people need to know what wars really are like, maybe then they won’t send their own children to die trying to conquer another country in the future

  4. That was a hard watch, no one should ever have to go through that.

  5. Poor guy got that look in his eyes. Those eyes have seen some wickedness.
