A Ukrainian front-line battalion filmed its drone-led rescue of an injured Russian soldier.
The K-2 Battalion, which is part of the Ukrainian Army’s 54th Brigade, posted the video across several different social media platforms this week.
Set to eerie music, the video runs longest on Telegram at more than 18 minutes. It picks out the strained facial expressions of the injured Russian soldier, damage to his wrist watch and the streak of dried blood running down the side of his face.
In the video, the drone operator decides not to kill the injured Russian soldier and instead drops water and a note before leading him across No Man’s Land to a Ukrainian trench.
It is unclear where or when the video was shot, although it appears to be set in late summer on a battlefield in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. Throughout the war, the 54th Brigade has been positioned on the front line in the Donbas region.
The video appears to be part of a sophisticated recruitment for the K-2 Battalion which, like the rest of the Ukrainian army, is under pressure to sign up more soldiers.
The released video starts as a Ukrainian drone scans a Russian trench after an attack, searching for survivors. It spots the injured Russian soldier lying on top of at least two bodies under an earth arch.

hope the war ends
プーチンがなぜ国際司法裁判所で裁かれないのか謎。😰戦争以前にこれだけ互いを不幸にする行為を行うバカげた独裁者を止めるストッパーたる組織は必要やね。😰
So fake
Only when putin's rule ends , may there be peace.
Iran – Russia – China clan of evil.
joke?
should be putin and his lackies lying in that trench
정말 고맙습니다.
Lol…Crazy how many people don't know that this is propaganda
God Bless whomever decided to save his life. We need more of this on both sides. This war needs to stop.
Imagine when he's an old man telling this story to his grandchildren. How his grandkids will be like whatever.
Very well done, appreciate this video!
Какое фуфло!!! 😂
Показуха. ВСУ – военные преступники
Normal people doing all the dirty work as usual.
Meanwhile in America: DOD Secretary Pete Keg-stand says we should "give no quarter" to Iran. Yet another crime worthy of impeachment in normal times
War is terrible!

He managed to ask for a smoke break even in the most extreme situation. I would have dropped a bomb instantly.
In a few years: men are drones best friend.
and then they make a barbecue from him xD
thank god this guy did this, wars are rotten and pointless, stop the insanity.
Looks like videos from ww1 (the war to end all wars)
All this for Putins ego there's a special place in Hell for that man.
Remember: No politician was harmed in this video.
The is better without Americans
That made me tear up.
So touching. How soldiers suffer leaving the war mongers safe and sound hiding themselves in safer places
How fricken sad is that😢
Its seems like he is shellshock
Left all alone, his comrades are gone, no body's. So they left an injured solider, one of their own behind..
I'm glad Ukraine helped him an got him to essentially give up an get treatment. Ukraine drone operators an troops seems to have cared more than his comrades.
If he didn't survive the rest of the war, may God rest his soul.
Despite Putin continuing this whole stupid, heinous war…the Ukrainians still have the humanity to have mercy and let someone live that was sent to kill them. Just shows how amazing the Ukrainian people are.
Does anybody know what happened to this guy after this? I cant explain why but he's been on my mind a lot. I really would love to know he's doing and how his rescuer drone pilot is as well. Also, I know this is schmaltzy and sentimental but does anyone wonder if this is a little like a guardian angel's POV?
This is one of those drone operators who actually have a heart instead of seeing soldiers beg to not be killed but still be murdered
Це називається ЛЮДЯНІСТЬ !
рашисти навчайтесь їй !
I'm sure he'll get his well deserved rescue in the end.
5.56 straight to the cranium.
pointless war, it always pissed me off to see how giddy so many people were to support it in the name of "democracy".
Spreaders of fake news. He is not a Russian soldier. He was a Ukrainian soldier who was targeted by Russian drones.
There is no reason to not consider this Ukrainian propaganda with the apparent Russian soldier actually being a Russian soldier, but a Ukrainian one, or maybe even a Ukrainian actor, and in either cases is just doing this in pretense, under command by his superiors, to make a clip for apparent leaked footage, to be released as propaganda to manipulate the Russian loss (via both defecting, surrender, etc.)
In fact I can confidently claim that there is a good chance that many 'leaked' or 'released' footage is more like cinematic propaganda.
war is hell
Perfectly done. Even was given morphine(probably) for his pain. I hope more captures go this way.
No mater humanity must stay … ask why who for what ? Moral ethical the real start of it all whos behind it …. masters of deception fals3 flags.ect.
What a load of bullshit UK propaganda
Ha proprio la faccia da russo…
Our leaders are our enemies. They are the ones we should send to the front lines.
