A bloody trail leads to you. About twenty meters

КА: Hello, Alexander, good day.

АН: Yes, Ekaterina, good day.

КА: Good day. How are you feeling?

АН: Well how... Should I tell you the truth or?

КА: The truth.

АН: The truth?

КА: Yes.

АН: Well, everything on me aches, hurts. But in any case there's a feeling that I really got off easy, and that somehow lifts me up. Well, and pain is pain, it's the same for everyone.

КА: What a nightmare. But you're okay, yes? They discharged you home already?

АН: I... First of all, they didn't keep me in the hospital. That is, if I tell it step by step, then after what happened somewhere about, probably, 20 minutes later I ended up at the nearest hospital. And I didn't get there by ambulance.

КА: On your own?

АН: I... No, not on my own, because I step by step on the way passed out several times, because, as they told me afterwards in the end, that the trail, while I walked, and my blood trail, which was pouring from me, from my leg, it turns out... Yes, the right leg. There it hit not an artery, but a very, quite large vein. Can I tell you such things?

КА: Yes, of course. Believe me, I wrote a lot about Mariupol, after that I'm fine.

АН: Well it's just that you can smooth the corners, or you can...

КА: No, don't, don't, no smoothing corners, everything absolutely honest, this is war.

АН: My trail was thick somewhere about 20 meters, while I dragged myself from the burned car.

КА: Let's, probably, start in order, let's try to chronologically reconstruct what happened to you. I understand that this happened on Saturday, the 24th, yes?

АН: The 24th, yes.

КА: Yes. Can you tell about that day in general? What was happening? I'll ask more later about what's happening in Kherson now in general, but first we'll record exactly this day, the shelling, the wounding step by step. So the 24th - what's happening with you? Where were you? Were you at home, did you wake up? Can you tell about this day in detail.

АН: On the 24th, naturally, in the night from the 23rd to the 24th it was relatively quiet, and I had accumulated there a small list, I needed to get some ordinary products there. I live in the suburbs, it's 9 kilometers from Kherson. That is, transport doesn't run. I call around, we have now in our chat, there numbers of cars are floating around, which drivers by their own desire work as taxis. I find a number, I call, the person answers and says: "Yes, I'll come." He comes to me in the village, picks me up, I go to the city. I have there a certain... Well, I made myself a list there - products there, something else. Because I live with mama, with grandfather and with a dog. Grandfather doesn't go to the city, my mama is a medic from the children's regional [hospital], and I asked her, she works with newborns, worked, and I asked her to take 90 days off at her own expense, because to send her to work every day - that's already beyond any limits. She asked to come with me, I say: "No, I'm going alone quickly, came, point A - point B and back." Good. I leave, I can't say exactly by time, around 9 o'clock, probably, I left from my place, from the village. About 20-25 minutes it was to the center. He dropped me off behind the central market in the city of Kherson, it turns out. I went into the first point, picked up spare parts, I bought a generator, because we didn't have electricity for a month and a half. And I needed to pick up additional spare parts for it, because the seller wrote to me, says: "Sorry, I didn't give you everything." And I somehow accumulated all this, thought that...
