Ukrainian woman alive after being shot by Russian forces ends up saving soldier's life

Share! :D

In the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian soldiers were ordered to fire on civilians traveling on a roadway: but one of the women shot at survived.

Karolina Perlifon is alive because two soldiers refused to carry out the command to kill Ukrainians on the spot. The soldiers were hit by gunfire soon afterwards, with one dying from the injury.

Perlifon's 51-year-old mother lay dead next to her from a Russian bullet, yet she decided to drive the other soldier to safety.

As the 29-year-old lawyer continues to cope with her loss, she remains confident what she did was right. Sean O'Shea reports from Ukraine.
