Anatolii, a Ukrainian veteran of the battle for the city of Mariupol who was later held as a prisoner of war in Russia, says basic first-aid skills should be known by everyone in Ukraine. He says every person in the country should know how to apply a tourniquet and how to stop someone's bleeding.

According to the headline of the Sky News report, Anatolii lost 25kg while in captivity. The report focuses on his experience as a Mariupol veteran and former prisoner of war.

The available excerpt of the source does not give further details about the conditions of his captivity, his release or his current life. This article therefore includes only the confirmed facts: his participation in the fighting for Mariupol, the weight he lost as a prisoner, and his call for all Ukrainians to learn first-aid skills.
