A Ukrainian soldier and his Russian enemy met in the gray zone near Bakhmut and tried to survive by helping each other.
Russian mobilized Alexey with the call sign “Babka” told reporters how, with the help of a Ukrainian soldier, he managed to survive near Bakhmut, Donetsk region. In fact, this interview ran counter to Moscow propaganda, since it was almost the first time that a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier was described in a positive way and without the usual cliches “Kiev punisher”, “fascist”, “Bandera member” and the like, Dialogue.UA reports.
Alexey Babka, let’s be honest, was on the territory of Ukraine illegally, took part in the attack on Ukrainian positions and was a real occupier. But at the same time, he still admitted that if it were not for the Ukrainian warrior, whom he “affectionately” called Khokhlo, he would not have survived and would have remained to rot in the ground.
As the Russian survivor himself said, he received severe shrapnel wounds to the lower back during an attack on Ukrainian positions. At the same time, his colleagues, as the Russian media write, “considered him dead and no longer hoped to meet him,” that is, in fact, they simply gave up on him, recording him in the “two hundredths.”
Babka came to his senses and among the corpses of the Ukrainian military noticed one survivor, also seriously wounded.
The situation was complicated by the fact that both were in the gray zone, where neither the RF Armed Forces nor the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered.
As RosSMI write, the Ukrainian soldier, although he was wounded himself, helped Alexei by bandaging his bleeding wounds.
They helped each other for five days, but then the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter died, the Russian was left alone and was forced to crawl towards his positions, where, we remind you, he had been targeted for a long time.
But by pure chance, he finally crawled to the trenches of the Russian Armed Forces, he was taken away, evacuated to his homeland, where he already gave an interview and told who exactly thanks to whom he was saved.
The Russian soldier’s legs were severely frostbitten. Doctors say they will most likely have to be amputated. However, thanks to the Ukrainian soldier, the Russian remained alive, which made his mother incredibly happy.
It’s interesting that the Russian media, while describing the “miraculous” rescue, suddenly remembered that it was, after all, soldiers and fighters who were fighting for Ukraine, and not “dill”, “Bandera”, “fascists” or “punishers”… This is very unusual, especially against the backdrop of general anti-Ukrainian hysteria in the Russian Federation, justification for an attack on the territory of Ukraine and arrests for “fakes” about the Russian Armed Forces.
It is unlikely, of course, that the story of Alexey Babka and the Ukrainian who saved him will completely clear the minds of Russians of Kremlin propaganda, but there is no doubt that it will be remembered by many and will make at least some think.
Let us remind you that the Russians on the BMP fell into the trap of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Krynki.
As reported, the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Gorlovka recaptured a waste heap and captured several Russian invaders at once.
By the way, military expert Ruslan Leviev said why the initial plan of the Russians to surround Avdiivka on both sides failed with heavy losses.
