With a 10-centimeter metal rod in his brain, #Valerii, together with his two wounded brothers-in-arms, walked 8 kilometres to the evacuation site.
#Valerii was wounded during a mortar attack by #Russian troops in the #Pokrovsk direction, #Donetsk region. In a hospital, he underwent surgery and had the rod removed from his head but lost sight in one eye.
#Valerii says he wants to see his wife and three-year-old daughter most of all.
