I found an even better video about the rescue here: https://hromadske.ua/en/viyskovi/272791-ukrainian-troops-res...

The soldier self amputated his left leg using a knife. He also survived 491 days on the front line. Brutal. This guy is a real-life Rambo.

    > "I had a blunt knife that I'd previously used to open canned meat."
