Ukrainian Soldier Saves Stabbing Victim in Venice

A Ukrainian soldier on vacation, Yanis Tereshchenko, saved the life of a young man who had been stabbed in Venice on March 10. Upon witnessing the victim, who had suffered a severe stab wound to the thigh and was losing a significant amount of blood, Tereshchenko utilized a first aid kit he always carries, applying a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. He managed to keep the victim conscious until paramedics arrived, stating the situation was dire, and others around him were in shock and unsure of how to help. The incident occurred after a brawl between two men of North African descent, with the attacker fleeing the scene. Initial reports mistakenly identified Tereshchenko as a Russian tourist, a claim that was later corrected. Tereshchenko emphasized the importance of being prepared and the luck of having his first aid kit with him during the critical moment.
