Miracle survival: Ukrainian soldier crawls five days after throat slit by Russian troops
A Ukrainian soldier is fortunate to be alive after having his throat cut by Russian soldiers and being thrown into a pit.
Vladyslav, 33, was in Russian captivity when he and his fellow soldiers were marched to a basement, had their throats slashed, and were left to bleed to death stacked on top of each other in a hole.
His wife, Viktoriia, said: ‘First, he was caught by one group, and then they were taken to a basement.
‘There were completely different soldiers there. There were two of them, and they tormented the prisoners.’
Some of the Ukrainian prisoners had their eyes gouged out. Others had their ears, genitals, and noses cut off by the Russian soldiers.
After a lengthy torture, Vladyslav was the last to be thrown into a pit, presumed dead. After the soldiers left, he tied his throat with a rag and crawled for five agonizing days back to Ukrainian positions on the battlefield.
He’s been in critical condition in Dnipro, having lost a large amount of blood and his wounds deeply infected.
The director of the hospital where Vladyslav received treatment stated, ‘He held on until the end, but you could tell he was confident everything would be okay.’
Even after his horrific ordeal, Vladyslav has written to his brother that he wants to return to the battlefield for his country.
‘Those bastards should feel what he and seven of his fellow soldiers felt,’ Vladyslav wrote.
Russian soldiers have openly documented many of the war crimes they commit against Ukrainian soldiers.
