"If you stop, you die," said Mykola, a small-framed soldier with dark circles under his eyes and a tired stare. "When we were walking to get to the positions, it wasn't hard to walk — it was hard to realize that you may not walk out alive because there were a lot of our dead around."

#Mykola_Shot, a 40-year-old veteran from #Lviv, lost both his arms and legs as a result of a mortar attack. But even four amputations did not stop him from returning to one of his greatest passions – driving.
#Mykola has 20 years of driving experience. And for him, getting back behind the wheel after such a severe injury was incredibly important.

#Ukrainians are incredibly humane.
May 24, 2025. #Shakhove, #Donetsk region. The second trip to the village. A man named #Mykola returned for his dog, refusing to leave her under shelling.
