"It could be a trap": volunteer from New Zealand told about the rescue of the Armed Forces fighter (video)

According to the New Zealand volunteer Kane Iatta, in the basement under Bakhmut, he found his exhausted brother, whom he considered dead. The Armed Forces volunteer from New Zealand, Kane Iatet, rescued the fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the basement, in which he spent two months in Russian captivity. Kane Yatet told about it on his Instagram page. "Turtle" wrote that he considered his friend the dead.

According to volunteer, his unit was cleansing the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Donetsk region, when he came across a basement with a captive Ukrainian defender. "His eyes met with mine:" New Zealand! New Zealand! "I looked down. I recognized him, it was my friend whom I thought killed the Russians," Kane recalls.

The New Zealander noted that he managed to persuade his brothers not to throw a grenade into the basement, but to first study the premises, despite the fact that it could be a trap. Yatet also added that the rescue of a friend is the best thing that has happened to him in the last year. "I am grateful and feel blessed that we could pull it out of this hellish hole," the volunteer summed up.

In a comment to "Public" Kane Iatet reported that he has been defending Ukraine on the front for almost a year. Yatet did not fight with the rescued serviceman, but was familiar with him. "He was in a group of those who worked with drones, I often visited them," the fighter said. We will remind that according to Ukrainian journalist Sergey Garmash, the captive Ukrainian warrior is called Alexei Gordeev. During his stay in the Russian captivity, a 27-year-old man is lost from 80 to 42 kilograms.

"I haven't seen it yet. The extreme degree of exhaustion. Just a living skeleton. For two months he was in captivity, in the basement. They were not fed. If it was not for one Russian soldier who shared his ration with him with him, would die of hunger. Antifreeze," Said Garmash. According to journalist Andriy Tsaplienko, Alexei Gordeev is treated at the Dnieper hospital. The fighter underwent surgery and is now treated with antifreeze poisoning and dystrophy.
