Private Vladimir Egorov rescued six injured comrades from under enemy fire, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The operation was carried out as part of an airborne assault unit of the Russian Armed Forces, as reported by TASS.
It is noted that Private Egorov was involved in a mission to liberate an important settlement from Ukrainian militants. During the intense combat, he personally evacuated six Russian servicemen who were wounded and provided them with first aid, despite the enemy’s heavy gunfire, the statement said.
The Russian defense ministry added that after the rescue, Egorov returned to his position and continued to carry out the mission, including destroying a Ukrainian firing point with a grenade launcher.
Prior to this, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at a meeting with members of the Security Council that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attempted to attack Russia with over 2,500 personnel, 35 tanks, and approximately 40 armored vehicles, but they were unsuccessful in all their attempts.
Earlier, three AFU fighters crossed the Dnieper River and surrendered to the Russian Armed Forces.
