Oleksii “Kir” was seriously injured and crawled to the zone from where medics of the 5th Assault Brigade eventually evacuated him. He was blown up by a mine and received an explosive injury, multiple shrapnel injuries, including to the face, lost one eye, and likely lost sight in the other.
Medics of the 5th Assault Brigade brought Oleksii to the stabilization point in an almost unconscious state.
“He is seriously injured, but he will live. He spent almost a day in the “red zone,” says Ruslan, “Murphy,” the senior shift doctor of the stabilization point on the Zaporizhzhia front.
The zones from which it is impossible to evacuate the wounded have become larger. The work of combat medics at stabilization points has become more complicated due to the intensity of enemy shelling and the use of drones by the Russians.
Medics are increasingly having to work in conditions of limited time, limited resources, and the constant threat of strikes, which significantly increase the workload and risks for medical teams.

Wow.. what a freaking hero! I really really don’t think I’d have it in me to crawl for an entire day through a war zone while critically injured.
