Yanis Tereshchenko, a 32-year-old Ukrainian soldier, intervened during a stabbing incident in Venice, saving the victim's life with his emergency kit. Having served in the army since Russia's invasion, Tereshchenko acted quickly to apply a tourniquet to the victim's severe wounds, which crucially stemmed the bleeding. Authorities credited his swift action with preventing a potential fatality. After the incident, Venice's mayor recognized Tereshchenko's bravery in a personal meeting, highlighting the soldier's readiness to help despite being on vacation with his family.
Fortunately, I had my emergency kit with me, the one I've carried since the war began, even though my wife always tells me to leave it at home.
Doctors later said that Tereshchenko's intervention was very fortunate. The victim was losing blood rapidly, and without the soldier's prompt action, he might have died.
