The war in Ukraine has been raging for more than a year, with thousands of lives lost and millions displaced. The conflict has also seen some remarkable acts of bravery and heroism, especially from the female soldiers who are fighting on the front lines.

One of them is a combat medic of the 47th Brigade, who was caught in a fierce battle with Russian forces in Avdiivka, a town near the city of Donetsk. Her harrowing experience was captured on a helmet camera, and the footage was shared by the Daily Mail.

The video shows the medic and her squad in a narrow trench, exchanging fire with the enemy. Bullets and shells are flying over their heads, and explosions are rocking the ground. The medic is calm and focused, providing medical aid to her wounded comrades, while also firing back at the attackers.

At one point, four Russian tanks appear on the horizon, and start firing at their position. The medic and her squad have no choice but to retreat, but they are pinned down by the heavy fire. The medic grabs an anti-tank missile from a fallen soldier, and prepares to take out one of the tanks.

However, before she can fire, the tank spots them and aims its cannon at their trench. The squad panics, and braces for impact. Miraculously, the tank misses them by a few inches, and moves on. The medic and her squad breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly get out of the trench.

They run through the forest, dodging enemy fire, and reach an armoured vehicle. They hop in, and drive away from the battlefield. They arrive at a medical facility, where the wounded soldier is taken care of. The medic and her squad have survived a close encounter with death, thanks to their courage and skill.

This video is an absolute demonstration of the courage of Ukrainian soldiers who come from all walks of life. Ukraine is a nation united in one goal. Ukraine is the nation other nations should learn from.
