Wounded Ukrainian Soldier Spent Nearly Month in Basement, Abandoned by Command Despite Rescue Promises"We suffered heavy losses. There were also many wounded. I myself was wounded, and no one evacuated me. For a whole month," Sergey Sitenko, a Ukrainian POW, said in a video released by the Russian MoD.Upon seeing Russian soldiers, he realized "there was no way" for AFU units to leave. He said he was constantly exposed to drones and shelling, and "all the passages were blocked.""When I was offered the chance to surrender, I chose life rather than to die and remain there somewhere. Because I understood that the dead were not being recovered at all," he added.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
