乌克兰利沃夫——在与俄罗斯的战争前线被困一年多后，乌克兰陆军列兵科斯佳京·弗拉先科听到了一个不祥的声音——俄罗斯装甲车的低沉轰鸣，里面很可能装满了士兵。
LVIV, Ukraine—After more than a year holed up on the front line of the war against Russia, Ukrainian army Pvt. Kostyantyn Vlasenko heard an ominous sound—the low growl of a Russian armored vehicle, likely packed with soldiers.
这名49岁的士兵被楔在一所毁坏的村庄学校锅炉房残骸的混凝土板下。几周前他用刀砍断的右腿坏疽残肢躺在附近。
The 49-year-old was wedged under concrete slabs in what was left of the boiler room of a ruined village school. The gangrenous remains of his right leg, which he had cut off with a knife a few weeks earlier, lay nearby.
他没有枪，因为他的步枪在早前的俄罗斯袭击中被毁。但弗拉先科仍保留着他最重要的武器：他的摩托罗拉无线电。
He had no gun, as his rifle had been destroyed in an earlier Russian strike. But Vlasenko still had his most important weapon: his Motorola radio.
“这里是马古拉，”他说，用他的呼号表明身份。“我能听到11点钟方向有重型车辆。”片刻后，传来嗡嗡声。一声爆炸响起，随即归于寂静。一架乌克兰攻击无人机击中了该车辆，使其彻底停下。俄罗斯人仍未逼近奥斯基尔河，这是一条关键的乌克兰防线。而弗拉先科仍在死死守住生命。
“This is Magura,” he said, using his call sign to identify himself. “I can hear a heavy vehicle at 11 o’clock.”Moments later, there came a buzzing. An explosion rang out, followed by silence. A Ukrainian attack drone had struck the vehicle, stopping it dead. The Russians were still no closer to the Oskil River, a critical Ukrainian defensive line. And Vlasenko was still clinging to life.
