Inside the battle to save wounded Ukrainian soldiers

- Ukrainian officer Iryna, callsign "Dyka" (Wild), recounts her days as an assault soldier of the 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade in late 2023, then deployed near the Russian-occupied town of Kreminna in Luhansk Oblast. Russian forces have been on the offensive in the area since June 2023, constantly trying to find Ukraine's vulnerable defense lines for a potential breakthrough.
The wounded soldier died six hours later at the attack site, with no one being able to reach him due to heavy Russian shelling. Iryna is currently fighting on the Bakhmut front - another hot spot of Russia's war on Ukraine - in Donetsk Oblast as a reconnaissance soldier.
Thank you for this interview, much respect to this strong person!!
Glory to Ukraine!! 🇺🇦
She was certainly doing a whole lot of shouting and giving orders while doing nothing herself
Thank you for English audio.
Thank you for this interview!
You do great work, you save lives. Be safe, be strong!
"I just couldn't leave abroad" Brave honorable soldier. To all Ukrainian Men of fighting age abroad food for thought
Did you listen to the woman? Did you hear her pain and suffering? She has signs of PTSD. Why demand that even more men suffer and die? Why not instead seek peace? Why not instead ask why Zelenskyy trashed the Minsk Accords and then dumped the Istanbul Agreement as demanded by Johnson?
@@michaelwilson9921 I was talking to Ukrainian Men of fighting age abroad to come and defend their country not a Russian kool aid drinking stooge.
@@michaelwilson9921 Your bias, your lack of information and analytical skills, you're limited thinking and your sympathy for Rusian war criminals and dictatorship are ugly. You are better suited to live in Russia. Don't ask for protecrion from the west.
Brave, patriotic woman of Ukraine ! A credit to her people, to us all !
Heroyam Slava ! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 !
Ukrainian women know what happened in Bucha and other ruSSian occupied places. They fight for their survival!
This is so heartbreaking. As an American, I am so angry and ashamed that my government is allowing this to continue when we have all the equipment that you need to push the russians out of your country. Please keep showing the reality of war. People need to see the real people making real sacrifices, and the suffering and losses that continue because the west is full of cowards. I know you will win. I just wish it didn't cost you so much.
Victoria Newland worked to start this war. Instead of the US working to start this war, shouldn't they have instead worked to have prevented it? The civil war that has now evolved into a proxy war was 100% preventable.
Share the video with all lawmakers. I share them with GOP . I plead to the humanity within them to provide everything Ukraine needs. They have family too. What if it was their family going through this. It's entirely possible .
I'm ashamed that Victoria Newland started this war. I'm ashamed that Biden didn't keep his promise to meet with Putin to insure that the Minsk Accords worked. I'm ashamed that we wanted Ukraine to fight a proxy war for us. This war needs to be brought to an end - not continued. Creating another Afghanistan like war to punish Putin was senseless. I'm glad that my Senator Rand Paul is for ending the war and not for continuing to destroy Ukraine. I support him!
@@user-om9hm8bd6b Yes this video needs to be shared. Not so that the same thing happening to this young lady can be done to even more by continuing the war, but so that it can be brought to an end! This war should never have been allowed to start. Biden Newland and the rest should never have pushed for it. The Minsk Accords and the Istanbul Agreements should never have been sabotaged. What Ukraine needs is PEACE not more senseless WAR.
@@michaelwilson9921 Putin has violated every treaty signed by him or his predecessors. Putin chose to invade Ukraine, in spite of having multiple discussions with Biden and other world leaders. Nobody set out to punish Putin. They did everything they could to placate him. America ending support for our ally will not end the war. We promised to protect them when we convinced them to give up their nukes. If we hadn't done that, they would not have been invaded in 2014 or in 2022. Isolationism made both world wars possible. America showing up to defend democracy ended them. What you should be ashamed of is selfishness to the point of standing idly by while a friend is slaughtered. Edited to add: Our soldiers are not on the front lines, other than volunteers. The Ukrainians are not asking us to spill our blood for them. They just need the tools to do the job of defending freedom on their own. The comparison to Afgahnistan is a false equivolency. By the way, all of our NATO allies joined us there because they kept their commitments to us when we were attacked. America should have the same integrity.
I have a deep respect for such people. Thank you very much for this broadcast ❤️🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦❤️.
So powerful, what people can do when they have to.
"What people can do when they have to." But why should they be forced to? This war was 100% preventable. That's what the Minsk Accords were meant to do. Although, as Merkel has openly admitted, the West never intended to keep them. They were a trick to give time to arm Ukraine for the proxy war the West desired. Why desire a proxy war to destroy Ukraine? Why not accept peace? Why didn't Biden do as promised and meet with Putin to insure the success of the Minsk Accords?
The combat medics doing frontline evacs do a fantastic job of trying to save lives whist being a legit target of the Russians. Even the stabiliseration pointvare not safe. They are all unsu g heros, some are unpaid volunteers, the put their lives on the line every day. Please pray for them and the warriors they rescue and the ones who don't make it.....Slava Ukraini, Heroyam slava 🙏🏻🇺🇦💛💙
Thank you.
I hope so much that at the end of this suffering these people can make up for all the hardships with the freedom they have gained and the pride in their chests that they knowingly made it possible. And I hope this feeling, this success, will outweigh the difficult memories.
What a fine report! Brava!
Thank you for telling your story! You are a super hero of our time🛡🇺🇦🦸🏻♀️
Slava Ukraini! Women are inspiring and brave!
At 3:08 onwards, she is basically describing all of the initial warning signs of PTSD. It doesn't usually hit you until you are no longer regularly in combat, or the war is over. Feeling like 'a different person', having little emotion, and things feeling surreal or like a dream are all very clear indicators that if this woman survives this war, she will likely have a whole new, psychological battle to deal with. It often hits like a truck when it starts. I wish her all the best.
She's in survival mode. She doesn't have time to think about herself. I have faith that Dyka will be safe and that she will survive ptsd as well. She moves forward with confidence and strong ethics. It will help her through whatever challenges she faces with ptsd. She's incredibly courageous. All defenders are. My heart and prayers is with them . 🙏🏾
@@user-om9hm8bd6b I agree, i admire this women's courage and bravery, i was just making an observation. Long live Ukraine!
Slava Ukraina
🙏🇺🇦🙏

Thank you for this interview! Brave, patriotic woman of Ukraine ! Be safe, be strong!
You are all brave people. I wish you good health and to be safe. I hope the west will help more and wake up from their dream. Because without involving things will not get better. Slava Ukraine. Thanks for the English version
Thank you very much for this interesting report.
Dyka beautiful.... but in America it would probably be ""dyka child"" wild child" like most soldiers and sailors from democracies you volunteer to save the rest of your countrymen and work for a better future too make a better world.... THANK YOU ALL PLEASE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER AND GOD BLESS
GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦
In this video you have a valuable tool. Put it on the Televisions in countries where Ukrainian men have run to escape the war. It would the greatest incentive for them to return and enlist because of the shame they would feel. Let viewers see her beautiful face without the mask. It’s the nature of a man to want to protect a woman. I’m an elderly American sitting in my living room and I’m ready to go to Ukraine in her place. Any Ukrainian man who sees this video would feel the same - guaranteed!
Great video!
🙏🙏🙏♥️🇺🇦
Huge respect 🇺🇦
ЗОЛОТІ ВОЇНИ УКРАЇНИ !!!
I hope they will be safe 😊

Very sad. We have learned nothing from all the proxy wars the US and the Soviet Union once fought in Central America. Replaying that same drama in Ukraine is not good for anyone. It was not the US or the Soviet Union who suffered most from those proxy wars, it was the citizens of those countries who did. Now unfortunately, Ukrainians are suffering in a war that could easily have been prevented.
So Moscovia is the proxy for whom?
"Could easily have been prevented" ... there were treaties to prevent it. There were high-level discussions to prevent it. The west let russia take Crimea thinking that would prevent a full-scale invasion. Nothing could have prevented Putin doing what Putin wanted to do because Putin does what he wants to do. He thinks he's going to be the replacement for Stalin and take back the old soviet states and he has made it clear that he will continue until that goal is accomplished.
There are people in Kyiv still going to club and having fun
Don't trust UK / USA 😂😂😂
Time to give up america will not help u anymore save yourlife
While Denys sits in Switzerland!
What is the value of wining after losing half of country???
Save lives!!
Losing half your country is not called winning. Ask any Frenchman. Getting it back, now THAT is called winning.
@@loloaqici82qb4ipp best of luck !! …. At what cost?? This is madness.
@@dineshlimbu258 You act like you are paying with your own life. I have nothing against your decision to be a coward with no backbones, but I don´t think that ever something was achieved by bending the knee to tyranny. Look in the History of your own Country and you will find out that the Freedom you are enjoying so carelessly was costly fought for.
But if you are a RussBot, nevermind the Freedom-Part. :)
@@dineshlimbu258 Would you not fight to retain your freedom?
They fight for freedom, self-determination, a democratic country in which they can shape all aspects of society. They fight for those who already died trying to give them that life, lest their deaths be in vain. They fight because the opression, torture, poverty, and hopelessness of living under russian occupation is unacceptable. They fight so that their sons and daughters won't have to.
