Happy outcome. Putin can’t be too pleased to have these guys come home with stories about how they were well-treated by evil Ukrainian “Nazis.”
Holy macerel, that guy never has to consider buying a lottery ticket again, his luck was spend tenfold.
Caught enough shrapnel to drench his pants with hemoglobin (need to punch a couple of holes in muscles to soak a pant leg), yet it missed all the main vessels…
I understand the need to eliminate the enemy, but Ukraine needs to try and give this option more often, when they can. Too many times I see drone drops or a kamikaze drone chasing one or two guys that appear to be alone. Give the surrender option and try to get the intel and save the drone for a more valuable target.
The more footage there is of this out there, the more Russians potentially see it and are willing to lay down their weapons and surrender. It can really only help Ukraine’s cause.
It is heartwarming to see these Ukrainians treat a wounded invader so humanely!
Treating prisoners well is important. The US and UK suffered far fewer casualties in WW 2 because they took prisoners and treated them well, so Germans surrendered. But fought to the death against the Soviets/Russians.
Did he stop to take a shit?
Hearts and minds isn’t just for the civi’s.
Imagine that russians shock at not only the ukrainians not beating him to death on sight, but also the fact they sent a whole MRAP just for him! From his POV he’s getting VIP treatment 😄
After seeing all the horrors in this war, it’s stuff like this that puts a smile on my face. I’m glad Ukraine is doing what they can to help those who are incapacitated. Glad the guy was able to make it – he looked pretty weak after his wounds.
Best drone drop in years.
Need that fresh intel
Looks like he is wearing a Wagner patch on his chest.
He has more of a will to live than most Russians we see here.
URR complains that drone drops are war crimes but then says this is staged.
Can’t win with those loons.
