The military man’s words are quoted by the Telegram channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“We went to our places, laid the wounded man down and lay down next to him.

Nearby there was a crater from a shell explosion and an incomprehensible hole.

We gave the wounded the opportunity to smoke, and at that moment a new shelling began,” said Bashkov.

According to him, the military managed to deceive the Ukrainian drone because they pretended to be dead.

As soon as the drone flew away, the soldiers pulled their wounded colleague from the battlefield.

Earlier, RT recalled the most striking feats performed by the Russian military participating in a special military operation in Ukraine.
