A Ukrainian former soldier has described how crucial British Army-supplied medical kit saved his life after being hit by mortar fire.
Oleksandr Androshchuk, 30, sustained significant injuries in the October 2022 attack when his patrol was struck by Russian indirect fire. Moments after mortar bombs landed on his position, he attached his British-issued tourniquet to his right leg, stopping him from bleeding to death.
Now, two years on, Oleksandr is representing Ukraine in the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada.
