He flew into besieged Mariupol and spent two years in captivity—a GUR soldier from Chernivtsi with the call sign Barrett
Source: Suspilne
Barrett was one of two men from Bukovina who, in March 2022, voluntarily agreed to fly by helicopter into the besieged city of Mariupol. He defended the city for a month and the Azovstal plant for another month. From there, he was taken prisoner by the Russians.
Barrett served as a sniper in the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, but to survive, he lied to the Russians, claiming he was a member of the Territorial Defense Forces. A year and a half later, one of his fellow prisoners revealed who Barrett really was. The torture he endured then became even more severe, though he never gave himself away until the very end. Watch the video to find out what helped him endure the siege and captivity.
