A Russian soldier wounded in Ukraine said the army rescued his officer but broke a promise to come back for him

• The wounded Russian soldier was found by the Ukrainian troops.

• The soldier said he was told by his mates that they would come back for him.

• He said they'd come back for him but nobody showed up.

When the wounded Russian soldier was found by the Ukrainians, his army promised to return for him, but they never did.

CNN got a recording of the moment the soldier was found.

CNN reported that the footage shows Ukrainian troops entering a Russian command center and finding a wounded soldier.

The man described how his fellow troops left him, according to the summary of the footage.

He said that they were pinned down and everyone ran.

I fell down and stayed there until evening. My captain was taken by them and that was it. They said they would come back for me, but no one showed up.

It's not clear when the exchange happened. The key city was taken by the Ukrainians on November 11 after Russian soldiers left in November.

Putin declared Kherson a part of Russia after it was captured in the invasion. It was a humiliation for Putin and the military to lose it.

The Russian soldier was brought to safety by the Ukrainians.

The soldier will be dealt with by the Ukrainian government. Some of the war prisoners that Ukraine traded for its own troops were captured by Russia.

Russia left wounded soldiers in Kherson, according to other reports.
