A Russian soldier said he was shot in the leg, sent back to the front after 10 days, and shot again. CNN interviewed the soldier, Sergei, twice: once when he was in a military hospital, and again last week. Sergei told CNN that he was shot in the leg over the winter but was sent back out after only 10 days of treatment. He was injured again when Ukrainian troops dropped a grenade into a foxhole where he and another Russian soldier took cover. "Sometimes we didn't eat for several days, we didn't drink for several days," Sergei said.
