Ukrainian soldier Vladislav crawled for five days to Ukrainian positions after Russian soldiers slit his throat and buried him alive with 7 dead comrades. After being thrown into a pit and covered with debris, he freed his hands using a broken bottle, bandaged his wound, and began to crawl, writes «Suspilne».
On August 17, he was delivered to a hospital in the Dnipropetrovsk region in critical condition due to blood loss and gangrenous wounds. He cannot speak, so he writes everything in a diary.
«When the throat is slit, when a person is bleeding out — the chances are slim. He held on till the end», — said the chief doctor of the Mechnikov Regional Clinical Hospital in Dnipro, Sergey Ryzhenko. Doctors say that for the first time in 11 years of war, they had to treat such a terrible injury.
Vladislav reported that he was captured near Pokrovsk. He and seven other captured Ukrainian servicemen were tortured. The first scouts captured had their eyes gouged out, lips, genitals, ears, and noses cut off.
Vladislav wants to return to the front so that «these creatures can feel what I felt».
