"I still exist": why the Armed Forces Soldiers want to return to the front after injuries - WP
However, it is still unclear how many soldiers were injured from the beginning of a full -scale invasion and how many returned to the system after rehabilitation. The General Staff of Ukraine did not respond to the comment request. The publication writes that hostilities in Ukraine, which use UAVs and artillery, destroy human bodies. People who have received serious injuries need care. However, many want to return to the front.
They are motivated by the desire to restrain the Russian offensive or simply do not want to bring combat companions. Rachiba remembered the case when one wounded Ukrainian soldier wanted to return to the front to take revenge on his amputated leg. According to the woman, many doctors in Ukraine have the experience of treating the wounded military, which they gained during the ATO and OOS. However, a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation has brought new challenges.
The staff had to go to their weekend to learn more about the treatment of traumatic brain injuries, abdominal injuries, serious infections and other serious wounds. "As a result, both doctors and physiotherapists, and hardware experts had to be retrained to engage in rehabilitation after combat injuries," she said.
At the same time, Rachiba and other doctors are concerned that Ukraine will not be able to cover the cost of treating deep wounds for many thousand soldiers in the coming years and decades. The newspaper told Alexander Zaichenko's story. It is a 58-year-old company commander who was injured in an artillery shelling near Pokrovsk. At the time of communication with journalists, Zinchenko almost graduated from the rehabilitation period. He is still working on his coordination.
According to him, he should be appointed by the deputy commander of the artillery educational unit of the brigade. The military believes that doctors approach the treatment of patients comprehensively. The support of the wife and children living in the United States is also facilitated by recovery. Zaichenko said that he was engaged in weightlifting all his life and even participated in competitions in the USSR. "There is no country, but I still exist," he told reporters.
The publication writes that another military 42-year-old Alexander Kelbas, who once again got the ability to walk after injury, belongs to those who want to return to the front, but the state of health does not allow it. Kelbas was reportedly injured last year during the battle for Marinka. The enemy sniper shook his leg, but he was able to crawl out of the lesion area. However, he still had to get to a safe place. The material says that the man underwent several operations.
Now he works with physiotherapists on his recovery. Doctors believe that he needs to leave the army. Moreover, before the war, Kelbass was a metallurg. It seems to him that he will not be able to return even to this profession. The man told reporters that he intends to "continue living. " We will remind, Maxim Zhorin of 3 Oshbr sharply spoke about "vinaigrette" in the infantry of the Armed Forces.
