#Mykhailo_Drobotenko, platoon commander of the #57th Motorized Brigade, lost both his legs in 2022 near #Sievierodonetsk, #Luhansk region.
After 13 surgeries, a month in intensive care, and more than a year of receiving treatment and rehabilitation, #Mykhailo returned even stronger. Today, he is a world record holder in adaptive strongman and a two-time #European champion and world vice-champion in Para-Jiu Jitsu.

A #Ukrainian Defender from the #57th Motorized Brigade, with the call sign "#Voodoo," held positions for six months (173 days) in destroyed #Vovchansk #Kharkiv region, repelling #Russian assaults alongside his brothers-in-arms
"There were two to three assaults a day, consistently. There were a lot of #Russian bodies near our position. And every time you went out for supplies, you had to pass them - they smelled. It weighed a little on your mind.
"Good luck with your recovery!"
❤️🩹 Music helps to recover: #Ukrainian soldier gets his voice back after concussion
#Oleksandr "Artist" #Romensky is a volunteer of the #57th separate motorized infantry brigade. He helped liberate the #Kherson region and held the defence in #Donbas.
After being seriously wounded near #Bakhmut, he practically lost his sight, as well as the ability to speak and walk.
💔 #Volchansk turned into ashes and ruined
A city in which before the war and the arrival of the "#Russian_world" lived about 18,000 peaceful people. A city that, like #Toretsk, #Chasov_Yar, #Bakhmut... became a ghost.
This is what the "liberation" of #Donbas by #Russia looks like. This is what the "world" looks like through #Putin's eyes.
#Russia is a terrorist state and must answer for all crimes in #Ukraine and against #Ukrainians!

"It's almost nominative determinism?"😄
This is #Pavlo_Zhalko. He shot down the #Russian_Su_25 with an #Igla_MANPADS.
Glory!
#Pavlo serves in the #57th Separate Battalion of the #104th territorial defence brigade. He shot down the #Russian aircraft in cooperation with the anti-aircraft missile unit of the #28th Motorized Rifle Brigade.
Curious fact: #Pavlo's last name can be loosely translated as "#Stinger" - the name of another #MANPAD system that #Ukrainian Defenders use.
It is reported that #Russian soldiers of the #57th regiment are kept locked up, without water, food or toilet in the basement of a psychiatric hospital. According to the author, the premises are located close to the #14th City Hospital of #Donetsk.

"I promised him I would place a flag..."
A wounded #Ukrainian Defender, 23-year-old #Roman_Sheviakov of the #57th Mechanized Brigade, was captured by #Getty photographer #Serhii_Supynskyi
The Warrior was crying next to the National Memory Lawn Memorial on Independence Square in #Kyiv.
#Roman joined the army in 2020. He was injured in April 2024 while performing a combat mission in the #Kharkiv region. His leg was amputated.
Audio messages exchange in the command chat of the Ukrainian #57th Motorized Brigade in #Vovchansk:
"Lieutenant Colonel, please let us sleep. We have been working non-stop for two days."
"Commander, the whole country is counting on us. We will sleep in the next world, but now we have to save this world."
"We have no choice. We took an oath. Die or kill."
