Serhiy, a Ukrainian soldier, was badly wounded by shelling in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
He was stuck in a crater field for two days with a pierced lung and wounded leg, Serhiy told CNN.
Serhiy was able to crawl back to safety after a drone spotted the soldier in the field.

A Ukrainian soldier separated from the rest of his unit and left to bleed alone in a crater field close to enemy territory was saved by a drone delivering life-saving supplies — but for a harrowing few moments, he wasn't sure if the drone was a friend or foe.
