For reference. On April 4, Ruslan “David” flew on a helicopter to the already surrounded Azovstal plant, took part in the city battles, during which, as a result of a serious wound, he lost his leg a few days before the garrison left Azovstal.
Filming the events on GoPro, the native of Azov became one of the few who at that time showed the reality of the bloody battles in Mariupol from the first person. As part of one of the exchanges of seriously wounded fighters, “David” returned from captivity in June of last year.
