The press service of the 80th Separate Assault Airborne Galician Brigade shared this story.

"Pavlo, a scout with the 80th Galician Brigade, joined the army about a year ago. While carrying out missions in the Kursk region, he fought against both Russian and North Korean troops.

During another mission in Russian territory, Pavlo’s group of paratroopers suffered injuries. The soldiers found themselves surrounded. They spent almost a day escaping, covering five kilometers of dangerous territory monitored by Russian drones and infantry. Pavlo carried one of his comrades on his back," the report says.
