  1. So sad what happened to him, but it's good that he can walk easily in the prosthetics.

  2. Also those with limbs could go back to war it’s just expensive to develop and takes time to train.

  3. Ukraine is rapidly running out of cannon fodder. The most important thing is that Ukrainian professional army including elite Nazi units like Azov regiment suffered unsustainable losses and you can't do much with conscripts (most of them are really unwilling to fight for the regime). According to Daily Mail "Conscripts are being given call-up papers on the beaches of Ukraine as Volodymyr Zelensky's army suffers heavy losses. Ukraine is suffering more than 20,000 casualties a month, which is simply unsustainable." Ukrainian army will be done by the end of the year.

  4. When you decide to pile weapons on the border with your neighbor you can expect a negative result like blown off limbs.
    I'm not judging, I'm just saying.

  5. Ok this don't make sense to me, and if there's another doctor in the house please let me know your opinion…..

    The war have being going on for 5 months, those hands and feet incisions look amazingly heal, ill say 10 months. He's already walking in this limbs with almost perfect balance and using his arms to grab a bottle drink water, put the bottle down? Where's the pain? How long he's being in therapy? Better said, when this accident occur within this 5 months?

    Usually this type of miracle takes over a year in some cases Well ukrains medicine it's pretty advanced, within 5 months man has his limbs blown up by russian he heals the scars well, move with amazing motor control, gets in the limbs without pain and surprisingly coordination and no help at all, hummmm?
