Officer Andrii lost his leg when defending Bakhmut. After treatment in Dnipro and Kyiv, he is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Hospital.
At first he needed to learn hot to get out of bed, how to do it correctly to avoid falling and losing consciousness. Later, he started exercises to strengthen muscles and prepare for prosthetics.
According to the soldier Andrii, losing his leg has affected his usual way of life:
“It’s difficult to maintain balance on one leg. And there’s also a feeling that the lost leg is still there. It’s hard, but I’m holding on. I want to walk in the mountains, in the forest, engage in sports. And that’s what drives me.”
Andrii has been in the military since 2013. He was in the Luhansk airport and returned unharmed.
“The enemy may outnumber us in numbers and weaponry, but we are on our own land. We have the spirit of the Kozaks. We fight until the end, until the last warrior, until the last breath. As long as we can, we hold our ground. Though it’s difficult. It’s not like it was in 2014. Now the war is full-scale and more brutal”

Just like he has not given up, neither will his brothers at the front. Slava Ukraini!
Stay strong, you can do it!
