The hero of the video about rescuing a soldier from under fire is our colleague!
At the beginning of December, a video of a real feat of a Ukrainian defender who pulled out a wounded soldier from under fire in the Bakhmut area went viral on the Internet. The author of the video, a military commander with the call sign "Madyar", searched for a daredevil – he turned out to be our colleague Mykola Kyrychenko, a technician of the Security Department of the "Foxtrot" Group from Kharkiv
On that December day, four of our soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were fired upon by Wagnerites while driving a car. There was a direct hit to the car, as a result of which it caught fire. All the fighters under fire were able to leave the car, three of them made it to the shelter. But one of the soldiers was seriously wounded and could not crawl away from the car on his own. The car was on fire and could explode at any moment, at the same time the Wagner soldiers were aiming fire at the fighter, and prevented the defender from getting to the shelter. Nearby were the positions of our soldiers of the Armed Forces, who were fighting the attacking enemy.
Our Mykola Kyrychenko was also in those positions. Our colleague, under the fire of the Wagnerites, risking his life, jumped out of the shelter and ran to the wounded soldier, provided first aid and pulled him to a safe place, saved the life of a soldier of the Armed Forces.
From the first days of the full-scale war, Mykola joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and is currently defending our country near Bakhmut. We should also note that Mykola's father also serves as a tank commander in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and is currently in the hospital receiving treatment after being wounded near Kreminnaya.
We are proud of ours! And we thank Mykola Kirichenko for his courage and heroism.
