Two Ukrainian soldiers were wounded near the front lines in the Kharkiv region -- then were left stranded when another strike took out the ground drone sent to evacuate them. Their company commander, Vladyslav Polskiy, rushed to the site in a pickup truck without combat armor and brought the wounded men to safety. The dangerous mission earned him Ukraine's highest military honor, presented to Polskiy by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
