Video: A Scorpion fighter spent 40 days making his way out of his position after being wounded in the leg
A soldier with the call sign “Scorpion” evacuated himself from his position after suffering a severe leg injury. His journey to safety lasted 40 days, during which he tried to reach a safe place.
According to the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade in Zakarpattia, the soldier’s journey lasted a total of 40 days.
“Even at the most difficult moment, he refused to give up. Thanks to the support of his commanders, fellow soldiers, and medics—and, most importantly, his own resilience—“Scorpion” was able to stabilize his condition and begin his withdrawal from the front lines,” his comrades note.
Since the complex operational situation made it impossible to evacuate the wounded soldier to a medical facility, his route took him through several secure positions manned by our troops.
“Under cover from our drones, when the skies were safer, he moved from one position to another. This route was longer but significantly safer. In total, the withdrawal from the front line took 40 days, 30 of which “Scorpion” spent at a secure position alongside his comrades. He had only the bare essentials with him, along with a family photo that he kept close by,” reported the 128th Separate Airborne Brigade.
Our hero is now safe and awaiting prosthetic treatment, and his greatest wish at the moment is to see his family as soon as possible.

On the night of August 26, drones launched a second attack on the Wildberries logistics center in Kotovsk, Tambov Oblast, Russia, after which a massive fire broke out at the facility. According to Russian authorities, the fire covered an area of at least 40,000 square meters, and one employee was injured.
Ukrainian drones simultaneously attacked a Lukoil oil refinery and a Wildberries warehouse in Russia.
As a reminder, the Orsk oil refinery in the Orenburg region of Russia completely halted operations following an attack by Ukrainian drones.
