Evacuation At the Cost of Life: Russians Fired at Ambulance Transporting a Wounded Soldier
The huge craters are the result of a precision shot at the medics, their car was hit by fragments of heavy caliber shells.
In the Kherson Region, combat medics are rescuing wounded soldiers from the first line of defense despite heavy shelling by Russian troops from the left bank of the Dnipro River. The other day, the vehicle of military medics came under artillery fire, the occupiers were targeting the medical brigade, TSN reports.
The night at the positions of Ukrainian soldiers on the right bank of the Dnipro River is marked by machine gun fire and shelling with phosphorus ammunition. In the morning, the invaders cover several villages in Kherson Region with heavy fire, shells destroying civilian houses. "They are hurting ordinary people who have done nothing wrong to anyone. I feel sorry for all the children and the elderly, I don't understand why they can be so cruel," the soldiers say.
Over the last week, military medics say, the occupants have been covering the positions of our defenders and residential areas of Kherson and surrounding villages with fire. "The intensity has increased. Mostly shrapnel wounds and acupuncture injuries. We hope that this is a way to show their activity before they leave, to distract them from another direction," Valerii Sokolyuk, leaders of the medical unit of the 12th Territorial Defence Brigade, suggests.
Margarita is 22 years old and a combat medic in the brigade, which is currently defending the borders of Kherson Region from Russian troops. Each trip is deadly for her, but thanks to the work of this volunteer girl, three dozen soldiers' lives have been saved. "A mine hit us, 30 meters from me, I ran there, and I was heavily wounded - a fragment hit my thigh, everything was covered in blood. It's a bitch, these mines are flying, we quickly tourniquet him. We loaded him into our ambulance, and everyone fell down next to it because it started whistling overhead again," the medic recalls.
The huge craters are the result of the medics' aimed shot, and their car was hit by heavy-caliber shell fragments. They barely escaped with their own wheels punctured, but managed to bring the wounded soldiers to the hospital.
Dozens of soldiers have passed through Iryna's tender hands, and she is always in touch with most of the wounded soldiers. Since the beginning of the great war, Iryna has been a combat medic from her apartment building in the capital, when the fighting was active, to working in the army in the Kherson region, where she serves to this day. To ensure that the soldiers do not lose their first aid skills, Iryna conducts tactical medicine courses. Due to the density of fire, it is often difficult to reach the first line of our defense.
