  1. Just found the interview on Butusov's channel, the guy even explains that he chose to bandage himself when he was first injured, rather than use a tourniquet on both his arm and leg, which would have limited his mobility

  2. The exact same troll in this thread tried the exact same trick in a different thread just above, and got put away by a fact-checking masterclass by a couple of very observant people 😁 Слава Україні 💙💛

  3.  @stevehangzo7159  I'm very grateful to you and others in this thread who took the time to write their observations in so much detail... I had no doubt about the video but it's good for all of us to see fact-checking in action. Слава Україні 💙💛

  4.  @timverrecchia1654  If kremlin trolls weren't so nasty, their desperation would be kind of entertaining to behold 😁 Isn't that interview amazing? The guy is so genuine and humble. I have a feeling I saw him in another video over a year ago, where a few medics were talking about evacuating the injured, and he said that he was working as a driver but because he's had some field medic training, he was often asked to evacuate wounded soldiers. His voice, face, and body language give me the feeling he's been very badly affected by everything he's witnessed and experienced, also his young child was injured early on... I really hope he gets some time off now to be with her and recuperate. 💙💛

  5. THANK YOU. I'm glad you're on rotation, you all need and deserve rest. I feel very lucky to be on the same planet as you guys, and to have the opportunity to donate what I can. But I know that someone like me can't get you the weapons you need to get the job done, and I'm really angry at all our privileged countries for letting aid trickle to Ukraine instead of just giving you everything you need when you first asked for it! I wish you and your country the best. Sorry for not writing in Ukrainian, I'm learning the language but don't have a cyrillic keyboard on my computer yet. 💙💛

  6.  @smieszek8080  Thank you. A(nother?) troll in this comment section has tried the same trick a couple of times, and got taken down by a couple of very meticulous and persistent fact checkers making the same point you made here.

  7. Update: I found the interview. Full video title: ВОДІЙ У ПІХОТІ: НА ОЧАХ СИРСЬКОГО ЗНИЩИВ ДВОХ ШТУРМОВИКІВ.

  8.  @mikropower01  It happened on June 15th, the interview must have been about a week later. He shows the arm injuries in the interview, it was small shrapnel to both the arm and leg, and he chose to bandage himself rather than use tourniquets because restrict mobility - he couldn't afford to have a numb leg and arm while getting himself out of that situation. The state of the arm injury is perfectly consistent with what an injury of that kind would look like after proper treatment and healing for a week.

  9. Nope, Ukrainian soldier. A few trolls tried to push that theory and got set straight by a couple of brilliant fact checkers. Plus, here's the full interview with the guy: ВОДІЙ У ПІХОТІ: НА ОЧАХ СИРСЬКОГО ЗНИЩИВ ДВОХ ШТУРМОВИКІВ.

  11. Full interview with that soldier (actually, a driver) here: ВОДІЙ У ПІХОТІ: НА ОЧАХ СИРСЬКОГО ЗНИЩИВ ДВОХ ШТУРМОВИКІВ.

  12.  @allanknudsen2490  A couple of trolls have tried that same trick in this comment section and got taken down masterfully by a few dedicated fact checkers. It was beyond doubt a Ukrainian soldier (or prossibly a driver for that brigade?). I know YT tends to take down comments with links in them, but if you can give me a few keywords to search for that interview I would really appreciate it 💙💛

  13.  @johnmcmahon5225  The only other option seems to be losing the war to a demented, genocidal, giant mafia cartel, so I understand why that happens. In any case, the Ukrainian guy in the last clip is not a soldier but an ammo driver who got caught up in that battle, received shrapnel injuries to his arm and leg, decided to bandage his wounds rather than use tourniquets because he didn't want his mobility to be limited, and then ended up doing what we can see him do in the footage. Just watched an interview with him.

  14.  @OFFCODEV2  A number of trolls have tried this same trick here - plenty of fact checking in other threads in this comment section, just do a bit a of scrolling.

  15.  @nmgOblast  The full-scale invasion has been going for nearly two and half years now... over 10 years of war in total. Plenty of time for people to get all the training, trauma and experience to fight like that.

  16. Adrenalin. Also in that situation the body would release lots of endorphins all at once, which acts like a painkiller. So unless an injury is mechanically stopping your limb from working, you will keep going. I was once trampled by a horse - I literally saw the horse's hoof step on my body, and didn't feel a thing until later that day when I was in a safe place.

  17.  @josemarin3860  Me too, I was worried about this channel and I'm glad it's back online

  18. He's been injured previously, that's why he was bandaged.

  22. It was a bandage. As they told us very clearly in the video.

  26. He was injured, those are bandages. Scross through some of the other threads here - a few trolls tried pushing this theory to discredit the video and got set straight but some dedicated fact checkers. Also, there's a full interview with him here: ВОДІЙ У ПІХОТІ: НА ОЧАХ СИРСЬКОГО ЗНИЩИВ ДВОХ ШТУРМОВИКІВ.

  27.  @alexgon6011  See another thread in this same comment section with detailed factchecking in reply to an obvious troll who was trying to make the exact same point as you.

  28.  @johnmcmahon5225  I'm not saying addiction is unheard of in Ukraine - it's a problem everywhere - but the UAF does focus on psychological support for soldiers and veterans, because they understand the importance of it.

  29.  @johnmcmahon5225  If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine stops existing. Weren't most men - as well as many women and children - traumatized at the end of WW2? But the alternative was a huge part of the world being taken over by the nazis.

  30.  @cloud_stage  Interview with the guy here: ВОДІЙ У ПІХОТІ: НА ОЧАХ СИРСЬКОГО ЗНИЩИВ ДВОХ ШТУРМОВИКІВ. I would like to add that if you're bleeding your first priority is to stop the bleeding, whatever you have to use.

  31.  @transitman61  Did you watch the interview he gave about a week after all that went down? Such a lovely guy. I hope he gets to spend some time with his child to recover from the trauma (thankfully the injuries weren't bad).

  32. ​@Kitsuragi556 He was interviewed a week after it happened by Butusov, he even shows his arm injury which is consistent with a small shrapnel injury that's been healing for about a week. As well as watching the interview, have a scroll through the comments - as far as I can remember, a number of people pointed out details in the video that confirm the fact that this guy is in the UAF (he's a driver).
