The new dramatic video shows medics escaping Vladimir Putin’s wrath by the skin of their teeth as they evacuated an injured solider.
The soldiers can be be seen frantically racing towards their fellow fighter in a military vehicle as bombs rained down around them on the scarred battlefield.
The harrowing footage was released by the ‘Black Swan’ unit of the 225th Separate Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Monday.
A separate video filmed from a soldier inside the vehicle shows Vlad’s drones swarming overhead.
But the Ukrainian rescuers miraculously survived the drone onslaught with video showing they missed the brave soldiers several times.
The cruel attack efforts come days after a peace summit in Switzerland where over 80 countries signed a document blaming Moscow for the war.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky even suggested that he would hold peace talks with Russia quickly if they were to back off.
Mr Zelensky told reporters: “Russia can start negotiations tomorrow if they pull out of our territories.”
But as Ukraine continues to be torn apart by Vlad and his army, it is clear peace is not what is on his radar.
The disturbing footage was released with a statement praising the troops, saying: “Mikhalych and Kesha saved another life.
“For us, human life is the most valuable. This is our main difference from the enemy.
“This is what distinguishes civilisation from the ‘Soviet’ the new Ukrainian army from the old one.
When you are confident that someone will go through fire and water for you, when you go through hell for your brother, it changes you from within.
“Before the war, we did not love each other as much as we do now. Before the war, we did not value life as much. Before the war, we did not know what true dedication and faith in a better “tomorrow” were.
“To every comrade, every volunteer, everyone who helps the military — glory to the Heroes! We fight, we will win!”
The West’s game-changing decision to allow attacks across the border
WESTERN nations gave Ukraine the go-ahead to use their weapons to strike inside Russia in a game-changing move.
Ukraine is intending to ask its allies to lift more restrictions on using their weapons against Russian targets, according to its foreign minister.
US President Joe Biden recently gave Ukraine permission to use US-made weapons to strike inside Russia, as Putin’s forces continued their attack on Kharkiv and looked to seize more Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine is now seeking further approvals from its allies regarding its right to use their weapons against targets in Russia, according to Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba.
Ukraine was previously banned from using Western-supplied weapons to strike beyond its borders, as some leaders feared such strikes would lead Putin to further escalate the brutal conflict.
But a handful of Nato countries have softened their positions in the wake of Russia’s new offensive in northeastern Kharkiv.
Ukrainian officials argued they were unable to prevent the onslaught due to Western restrictions on the use of their weapons.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked Ukraine’s Western allies for permission to use their weapons on Russian soil.
RISING DEATH TOLL
Vladimir Putin suffered 1,270 casualties in 24 hours, Ukraine’s Defence Ministry announced earlier this month, marking Russia‘s deadliest-ever day in its two-year-old meatgrinder war with Ukraine.
But the figure was quickly topped as the defence ministry claimed Ukraine’s military had “eliminated” 1,290 more Russians on June 4.
The total number of Putin’s troops killed since the tyrant invaded Ukraine is now well above 500,000, according to the ministry.
Ukrainian forces are now said to have killed 512,420 Russian troops and destroyed 7,794 tanks, 15,020 armoured combat vehicles, and 13,345 artillery pieces since the start of the war.
Fifteen of the tanks, 18 of the combat vehicles, and 65 of the artillery systems were eliminated yesterday – as were 27 drones, 69 vehicles and fuel tanks, three air defence systems, and 12 special equipment pieces.
Kyiv says Russian casualty figures have been above 1,000 per day since Moscow launched a new offensive in Kharkiv on May 10.
