Posted on 13th Dec 2022 by rohit kumar

The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for a long time. Day by day the form of this war is becoming more fierce. In this fight, Russia is making rapid attacks on Ukraine. It's been 10 months since the war between Russia and Ukraine. Even now the situation remains explosive and the process of attack is going on from both sides. In this fight, all the soldiers of the Ukrainian army were seriously injured. Meanwhile, during the heaviest days of fighting in eastern Ukraine, army medics near the front line struggle to save lives as teams run short.

 

Treatment facilities for seriously injured soldiers

No two days are the same at a military hospital in the country's Donetsk region, where soldiers wounded in some of the fiercest battles of the nearly 10-month war with the Russian army are treated. Army doctor Oleksiy, 35, said, 'There are days when many soldiers are seriously injured. Sometimes there is no doctor for two, three, or four hours. He said, 'No day is like the other. There are difficult days, especially when our (troops) are under attack. Then the work goes on for five, six, seven hours straight.

 

The doctor's first priority is to save damaged organs

Oleksiy's priority is to save the damaged limbs tightly bound on the battlefield to limit the soldiers' blood loss. “We mainly stabilize the patient. I think the most important part of our job is to save the injured limb or part of the limb. For 36-year-old Oleksiy Nazaryshin, chief of the Brigade Military Service, the main goal is simply saving lives. "We need to ensure that the boys do not die," he said.

 

And a 24-year-old intern said, 'To be honest when very young boys who are wounded in the war are brought in, it is very difficult mentally. You can cry when you're alone, but when you walk through the door you have to smile because they (the injured) are looking at you and saying 'I'm doing better than ever.' Along with this, he praised the courage and determination of the soldiers.
