An incredible story comes from Ukraine about 33-year-old Vladislav, who survived after torture by Russian soldiers. They cut his throat and threw him in a pit, but he managed to survive and crawling for five days reached Ukrainian positions. The soldier is currently hospitalized in the Dnipropetrovsk region and has undergone surgery.
Insieme ai suoi sette confratelli, Vladislav fu catturato durante una missione di combattimento.
I russi torturarono loro brutalmente
Trovandosi nella fossa, lui si bendò il suo collo tagliato con i resti dei vestiti e, quando si fece buio, strisciò verso le posizioni ucraine… https://t.co/Sn446W1vdq pic.twitter.com/XQ4xtcCaa5

“The chances of survival were minimal,” says the doctor of the 33-year-old Ukrainian
He cannot speak and wrote about everything that happened in his diary. As he remembers, a few weeks ago, his brigade lost control of a position near Pokrovsk. While trying to help his comrades, Vladislav was captured… The medical staff who treated him noted that in 11 years of fighting, they had never dealt with injuries of this nature before. The hospital director, Serhii Rizenko, emphasized: “When someone’s throat is cut and they bleed to death, the chances of survival are minimal. He held on until the end and what sets him apart is his faith that everything would be okay.”
