A Ukrainian army captain who was wounded fighting the Russians in 2015 is now living in Long Beach, undergoing physical therapy for his injuries.
"The enemy was destroyed, but I was wounded."
He was left paralyzed, and in 2017 a nonprofit called Revived Soldiers Ukraine brought him to Southern California for physical therapy.He says he wakes up every two hours to text his friends back home, wishing he could join the fight because some of his army friends have been wounded or killed over the past two weeks.He goes silent for a moment thinking of his friends battling without him. He pauses to compose himself before finding these words about the harsh reality of war.
He'd like to see western leaders do more to secure the air space above Ukraine, but he has faith in the Ukrainian military and the civilians who have now joined the fight.This article tagged under:
