A captured officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine told about his rescue by Russian soldiers

The Russian military carried a wounded militant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), the head of intelligence of the 6th border detachment, Major Maxim Trofimuk, on a stretcher for 8 km. A video clip of the captured officer's story was published by the Russian Defense Ministry on Saturday, July 26.

According to Trofimuk, he received first aid at the position where he was captured. They bandaged his wounds and gave him water, and the next day they transferred him to another place, where they provided medical care again.

"Then, since I couldn't walk anymore, your guys carried me on a stretcher for about 7-8 km to the evacuation point. I am very grateful to them for saving my life," he said.

The prisoner stressed that he did not expect such a good attitude from the soldiers of the Russian army. He also noted that the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is collapsing because Russian soldiers are conducting "very high-quality" assaults.

On the same day, Trofimuk said that due to widespread desertion and deception of the command near Kupyansk, staff officers of the Border Guard Service of Ukraine were sent to the front positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He also noted that after the change of the squad commander, the practice of sending staff officers to the front line began to be repeated regularly. The former commander was suspended for multiple cases of desertion.
