    A Ukrainian guy has actually shared his impressive survival story after being shot and buried alive by Russian soldiers.

    Mykola Kulichenko, 33, was beaten with a metal rod till he passed out, prior to Putin’s executioners put a weapon inside his mouth and shot.

    Next to him in the unmarked forest tomb, near the Belarus border, laid his 2 siblings, Yevhen andDmytro

    .

    Like him, their legs were connected, hands bound, and bodies damaged and bruised. All were shot however just Mykola endured the injuries.

    He initially heard a shot from behind him, and Dmytro, the oldest of the 3, was up to the ground. Next, he felt Yevhen, the youngest, come by his side.

    ‘I was thinking that I was next,’ the rural labourer informed CNN. Somehow, the bullet entered his cheek and left beside his best ear.

    Mykola understood his only hope of going out was to play dead. When the Russians repelled, he crawled through layers of soil.

    ‘It was hard for me to breathe, since Dima (Dmytro) was lying on top of me, but using my arms and knees, I was able to push my older brother off to the side of the pit, and then I climbed out,’ Mykola stated.

    Until March 18, the intrusion had actually altered his life little bit although Russians had actually inhabited the drowsy town of Dovzhyk, near the city of Kharkiv, where he coped with his 2 siblings and sis Iryna.

    But when an opponent convoy was bombed, the occupiers extremely looked for those accountable and stormed their home.

    According to Mykola, all 3 siblings were required to kneel in their garden, while soldiers trashed their possessions trying to find proof of their participation.

    When they found their grandpa’s medals and a military bag coming from 30- year-old Yevhen, who had actually been a paratrooper, their fate was chosen.

    After being tortured for 3 days in a basement, the siblings were blindfolded and required to the woods.

    As Mykola stepped off the military car, he understood the 3 will be performed.

    ‘I was lucky… and now I have to just go on living,’ he stated.

    ‘This story needs to be heard by everyone, not just in Ukraine, but around the world because these kind of things are happening and this is just one in a billion.’

    The local district attorney has actually now opened an examination into what occurred to the household.

    Mykola’s traumatic story is simply among hundreds to emerge after almost 3 months of war in Ukraine.

    The International Criminal Court (ICC) has actually sent its ‘largest-ever’ group of professionals to the nation to examine supposed war criminal activities.
