Four military ‘brothers’ of Ruslan were wounded, and Ruslan received numerous injuries, including traumatic amputation of the left leg till the hip, contusions, concussion, left arm, left eye and ear injuries.
After first aid, Ruslan and was sent to one of the Krasnoarmyisk hospitals, and then he was transferred for three-month treatment in a Dnipropetrovsk hospital.
