A Ukrainian villager who was shot in the face by Russian troops before being chucked into a burial pit with his tortured brothers managed to wriggle out of his would-be grave.
Mykola Kulichenko, from the village of Vyshneve, just outside Kyiv in the Bucha region of Kyiv Oblast, was thrown into a grave alongside his older brother on March 18, with Vladimir Putin's forces believing he was dead.
After the bombing of a nearby Russian column, invading troops fanned out throught the village looking for revenge.
