According to the AP news agency, a Ukrainian paramedic was caught by Russia after recording him caring for the wounded in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol with a camera attached to his head.
The footage was released by the agency yesterday, after 53-year-old Yuliia Paievska gave it to the news team and journalists managed to escape from Ukrainian territory with a memory card hidden in a bumper. The paramedic known as Taira was reportedly captured the next day.
In footage captured by Taira during the first weeks of the war, you can see her and her team helping to injure dozens of people in the conflict with Russia. According to the AP, both Ukrainians and Russians are among the victims.
According to the agency, Russian broadcasters showed a video of him and accused him of trying to flee the city in disguise. After the video was released, it was never seen again.
In one of the excerpts of the footage recorded by the paramedic, he and his team try to save a boy who didn’t survive. After the child’s death, hiccups and beeps of medical devices can be heard in the background as Taira turns around and leans her head against the wall, placing her blood-covered hand next to her.
Another video released by the AP showed Taira removing her bloody gloves from her hands before moving on to footage of her running down the hallway after rescuers pushed a gurney.
The shot below showed Taira bending over a man’s bruised, bloodshot face and opening his eyelid as he took a deep breath.
More footage from the paramedic’s helmet camera showed a soldier being carried on a stretcher before cutting a soldier’s bloodied face while it was bandaged by paramedics. In the chart below, doctors administered CPR to an unidentified person.
Taira, who went missing after the alleged kidnapping, has not been seen since mid-March. The war in Ukraine began on February 24.
Taira’s husband, Vadim Puzanov, told the AP that he knew little or no information about her whereabouts or the paramedic’s condition.
“Accusing a volunteer doctor with all mortal sins, including organ trade, is outrageous propaganda. I don’t even know who it’s for,” Puzanov said. said.
Doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities were repeatedly targeted by Russian forces during the three-month war.
