True courage is caring for others, even when you are wounded yourself

Pasha served as a combat paramedic in the Paratroopers Reconnaissance Unit. On December 4, 2023, during the battle in Shuja'iyya, he was the senior medic in a medical evacuation team.

While evacuating a wounded soldier, their armored vehicle was hit by an RPG. Pasha was severely wounded, lost several fingers, and was struck by shrapnel that set his vest on fire. Despite his injuries, he instructed the medic to apply a tourniquet to his arm and continued treating the soldiers until the team reached safety.

Since then, he has undergone 12 surgeries and returned to an active life, including riding a motorcycle, a reflection of his determination to keep moving forward.
