A RUSSIAN porn star fighting for Putin’s war in Ukraine claims he has “balls of steel” after his private parts were nearly blown to bits.

Alexei Oleinik, 43, said that he was injured for the fourth time in Putin’s meatgrinder war when his genitals were struck by an exploding drone – leaving them “swollen like an elephant’s”.

The Russian was evacuating alongside comrades who were escaping a Ukrainian drone chasing them down.

But when the deadly drone approached, the helpless soldier shot it down with his gun, causing the machine to explode. 

Parts of the fragmented drone flew into and were lodged in his testicles, causing the man to claim that he had supposed “balls of steel”.

The porn star said: “I lost consciousness, [and] when I woke,  another drone flew in – I shot it down with a Kalashnikov.

“I managed to run to the dugout, but the painkillers wore off, and I passed out again. 

“I lay there for two days, did not drink, did not eat, and could not move. 

“I held my legs like on a gynaecological chair, my balls were swollen like an elephant’s.

The soldier evacuated on his own after realising his comrades had died or disappeared. 

“As the medical examination later showed, the fragment passed right through my scrotum between the testicles, leaving a fragment in each,” he added. 

“The [drone] fragment was hot, it sealed the wounds as it passed through the scrotum – that’s why I didn’t bleed to death.

“Now, I can safely say that I have balls of steel.”

The Russian adult film star starred in dozens of movies after going to Moscow for a casting.

He was offered £38 per day to star in an “erotic” film. 

The actor said he would not go back into porn, but would be interested in voice acting.

He also spoke about the near-death experience.

“For me, death is also a transitional moment,” he said.

“When someone dies, I believe someone is born at the exact moment.”

If he survives Putin’s bloody war, the porn star hopes to restore relations with his wife and rebuild his family. 

It comes after U.S. President Donald Trump said that “we’ve never been closer to peace than at this moment”, ahead of much anticipated phone call talks between Trump and Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.

Talks on a peacekeeping force in Ukraine are also ongoing, with the UK pledging to put “boots on the ground for as long as it takes”.

Russia also launched a wave of drone strikes on Odesa overnight ahead of Putin-Trump talks, damaging houses and a kindergarten.
