Three Ukrainian combat medics from the Third Army Corps are being lauded after saving a man’s life while holidaying in London.
The corps said the medics—Sophia, Khrystyna (known by the call sign Mivina), and Rebekah (Beka)—were riding in a taxi when they saw a serious road crash.
They immediately stopped the cab and rushed to aid the injured man.
“They carried out emergency stabilisation on site—controlling bleeding, applying dressings, and monitoring vital signs until paramedics arrived,” the corps said in a statement.
The man, who had sustained serious injuries, was stabilised at the scene and later taken to hospital.
Rebekah, an American from Denver, enlisted in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2022 and now serves with her Ukrainian colleagues in the 3rd Army Corps’ medical unit.
The trio were in London for the premiere of a biographical film under the VARTA project when the incident happened.
“The corps’ medics stand watch over life even far from the front lines,” the statement added. “Their actions once again show that being a medic isn’t just a duty—it’s a calling.”
This rescue follows another recent act of bravery abroad, when a Ukrainian soldier on leave in Venice saved a young man who had been stabbed in the leg.
