According to Ukraine's public broadcaster 'Suspilne', a 33-year-old Ukrainian soldier crawled out of the enemy camp for five days with serious injuries and reached the Ukrainian military camp on the 17th (local time) and was taken to a military hospital.
He wrote about his terrible experience to his family, unable to speak due to a major neck injury.
Vladislav was captured by Russian forces earlier this month while trying to save his comrades near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region.
He argued for the Russian atrocities, saying, `The captured soldiers of the intelligence department at first had their eyes pulled out, their lips cut off, their genitals cut off, and their ears and noses damaged.'
Vladislav, who was fatally shot in the neck by Russian troops, was thrown into a pit along with seven dead Ukrainian soldiers, and Russian troops covered the garbage and buried it alive. He said "There was a lot of trash covered, and there was a broken piece of bottle, so I could untie my tied hand."
After that, he broke through a pile of garbage and dirt and succeeded in escaping.
The military doctor who treated him said "The possibility of survival was slim due to the deep wound in his neck, but he held on until the end, and did not lose faith that everything would be all right.'
Vladislav is recovering from surgery, and medics are not giving up the possibility that he will be able to speak again.
With a four-year-old daughter, she is preparing to return to the front line. His brother Yevhen said "He wants to go back to the front line where he is fighting hard with the Russians for revenge on the seven comrades whose brother was buried alive together.
