Ukrainian soldier cuts off his own foot to survive, rescued by drone after 8 months

Kostiantyn Vlasenko, 49, had been stranded in a boiler room with severe injuries after a Russian drone strike. With no way to escape and little hope of being rescued, he made a desperate decision to amputate his remaining foot to survive. On October 4, a large drone lifted him into the air using a harness and carried him 15km to safety.
