A fighter who was evacuated by drone for the first time in history spent 491 days straight at his position.
Volunteer from Kryvyi Rih Kostiantyn Vlasenko held a position in a concrete drainage pipe. After his comrade was killed, he was left alone. Because of severe wounds from blasts and gangrene, he amputated both of his legs himself with an ordinary knife.
The Russians demanded that he surrender over loudspeakers, but the soldier refused to be taken prisoner and remained at his position. For months Ukrainian UAVs dropped him food and water. The defender is now safe and recovering under medical supervision.
