An X-ray image released by the Ukrainian military was said to show the live grenade found in the soldier’s chest.
Surgeon Andre Verba operated on the soldier without electrocoagulation, a common technique used to control bleeding during surgery.
He was photographed holding the unexploded weapon, which the armed forces described as a “VOG bomb”, after the surgery.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces did not say when the surgery took place or how the grenade entered the soldier’s body.
