The number of amputees across Ukraine is soaring as the country makes small gains in its counter-offence against Russia.
15,000 amputees were recorded in the first half of this year, according to the Department of Health in Kyiv.
Andrii Smolenskyi is one of those hurt while serving in Ukraine's armed forces, and is on the road to recovery, with his wife Alina Smolenska by his side.

Watching these stories of inner strength and sacrifice reminds me to appreciate my life. No matter what I am dealing with in my life, it is not this unjust war. My heart goes out to the Ukrainians.
Both sides are suffering, war is horror, i appreciate my life and to be with my wife, i am so thankful
Exactly . Even start feeling guilty as so many perspective hits you in overwhelming manner .
@@FM.......yes, & not just this war, but suffering all over the world. It certainly makes one count their blessings
@@sTraYa249 true and nobody see the war in armenia, they are between Turkey and azerbajan and are helpless, i saw a Video of an captured armenian man getting beheaded with a knife by an azerbajan soldier, they even take the clothes off of dead armenian women and make Videos of the corpses
Watching this reminds me how we maimed millions of innocents in Iraq and Afghanistan yet think did heroic things.
These people are amazing. My tears and hat off to amazing people
see ukraine, NATO support is limited, fail to eliminate putin now means ukraine is caput
@@handler007 first to go geriatric joe
There are tens of thousands of young Ukrainian men that are deserters and are now living in Ireland. Living it up in the nightclubs and bars every night. They laugh at the ones that have stayed and joined the army and they hate Zelensky. I wish he would take them home. We the Irish people don't want them.
It is sad that those who have bunkers and high powered security could cause so much misery. The ordinary man on the streets feel it
Putin is Russia's worst enemy.

the rich in ukraine pay a corrupt official 10k not to get drafted
@@handler007You have been saying that for almost 2 years, why are your predictions so wrong? Ukraine is slowly but surely regaining ground, what ever happened to we will have Kiev within the week? Now you seem to be on track to lose Zaporizhzhia. What's next? Mariupol? Crimea? How long will the Russian people support a loser dictator who has so badly mismanaged a war that he himself started? How much Ruzzian blood is enough? Ruzzia will ultimately end up paying a high price once this war is over, you will see. The young man in the video, look at all he lost, there will be a need for compensation, and the loser will have no choice but to pay.
You mention Putin, you should write that it's sad that one evil monster Putin can cause so much misery, and NATO simply watching then they should already interfere and k it's midget bunker rat.
This story brought tears to my eyes but at the same time i was moved by there love for each other something putin cannot destroy i wish Andri and Alina all the very best for there future ❤ from 🇬🇧 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Huge Respect to this brave man.

I honestly never feel it so sad to see this 😔
We need peace ✌️
Yes sad. May Allah help them.

My prayers for all the innocent people suffering in the war. Whether it be Russia or Ukraine.❤
Innocent people don't deserve dying😢.

He was not innocent.
It's important to recognize that in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, one party, Russia led by Putin, initiated the conflict by unjustly declaring it for his own interests and to boost his own image as a strong leader, instead of taking genuine action in improving the deteriorating quality of life of the Russian population. Putting both Ukraine and Russia on the same level in terms of innocence overlooks this crucial fact. When assessing the situation, it's essential to acknowledge that one side bears a significant responsibility for the conflict's outbreak, while the other is defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
F..k Russia. They are murderers and we are all watching
Prayers don't help him to grow a pair of limbs.
This is absolutely horrifying and devastating . We all know war going around back in our head completely being desensitized to it but then again this clips puts some light on devastating consequences on human lives behind statistics . Absolutely waste of so many lives in totality
All wars or just this one where white people are dying.
Meanwhile the Russian wives are flocking to Western dating sites, and spending their husbands injury or death payout money on flights to come to date us cool Western men, Probably because we are much better lovers. I haven't had to spend.a cent! I Have had 3 Russian wives already.
I never see Ukrainian women, probably because they are more loyal
Those are victims of scapegoating by Ukrainian regime.
the pawns are living with their delusions.
I can't control my tears hearing the couple also had a reflection upon my life how cowardly I am wasting my youth . They are so positive and strong with so much love and smile all around evem after the horrible events
Yep enjoy your youth while you have it because one day you are going to think back and have regrets .
Atleast you got fingers to type this.
see ukraine, NATO support is limited, fail to eliminate putin now means ukraine is caput
This is the reality of war😢
What a brave man even after fighting in the battle field.
He is fighting for the American Empire
@@WingkKongyes very true
Alena, you are a real angel and hero. I wish more women were like you ❤️❤️❤️
She will abandon this monster
@@comrade9374 Yeah she will go to Germany and find a new Daddy. If she's not an actor or something. SAD
I wish less were like her. She is a nazi like her husband.
@@comrade9374 Sounds like you're projecting the fact that you have never been truly loved by anyone, onto others. How sad.
@@luciusdomitiusaurelianus1024 same comment I just wrote applies to you. You don't seem to have ever been loved.
Andrie we support you from Philippines, be strong
I am so sorry for all the Ukrainian people
Actually, this is love.❤
Wow this very touchy😢
No ceasefire, no peace talks, men dont learn from history . ...speak to the Afghanistan, Vietnam veterans
Say no war
Salute to faithful and dedicated wife.
Wow so women like this still exist on this planet hmmm true love man despite your situation you have a true friend besides you ❤

War is always dirty.
It would be fantastic if politicians are made to feel this pain.
All for what?what did you gaine ? The media won't even remember you but Zelensky 😂😂😂😂
Sad, prayers for the injured & dead, hope war ends soon.
STOP SENDING WEAPONS!
WHY DIDN'T NAZIELENSKY AGREE TO MINSK AGREEMENTS? IT WAS A VERY GOOD CHOICE!!! FOR PROFIT, FOR WAR, FOR THE US ESTABLISHMENT!
@@WagePeaceKremlin sheep happy St.tractor day 05.08 🚜
Losing two eyes and two arms , half of your hearing is death at 80%. I feel bad for that guy.
This brave veteran doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He is a role model for all handicapped and fully abled.
This is not true. No matter what anyone would say, no one wouldn't feel sorry and sadness for himself/herself. I feel extremely sad for this brave guy. @@teresalegler2777
Yeah, but his soul is 100% alive
NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER GO TO WAR (You only have one life, so live it well),,,,escape your regime if you can or hide to avoid being sent to war,,,,it is better to live a healthy man vs. being broken the rest of your life,,
Very sad to watch this. May God help him...
That’s messed up
im crying 😢
It is heartbreaking.
Me too . Cried when I saw this today.
Still better off than those maimed in Iraq and Afghanistan by us.
The worst is yet to be disclosed. These figures are upto June. After the counter offensive maximum damage must have occurred. God take mercy.
Ukrainians are incredibly strong and UNBREAKABLE people! Weapons is all they need. It's such a shame there's so much delays on it(((
Especially the 7 million women who fled and left behind their sons and husbands
167 Ethiopian, 11 domalian soldiers and 55 Al shabaab terrorists killed in one week of fighting
And nobody talk about it
God bless this chap wish I could help you
Love from uk brave soldier, beautiful wife, you havegod bless you
God bless them 🕊️🙏❤️
All of you are our hero, we be with all of you my friend.
U are all together in warm beds))
I love you man, God bless you..

..sometimes it is only in the darkness that we see the light in the human heart.
The Boy is still smiling at Her!
So sad and so disappointed that such a war can continue while the world watches.Have we learned nothing from history? Unfortunately war is big business! Sadly, so is poverty these days!
Some of us did. Thats why we support Russia destroying nazism.
Yes you're right. Why is NATO still sitting on their asses while watching Ukraine burns?
Agree.
So sad to see
Negotiate, it's not rocket science🤷♂🤷♂
Ouch
Against all odds, the Spirit of the Cossack - 👍👍👍
God bless them ❤😢❤
Breaks my heart ❤️ to see Ukrainian amputated legs 🦵 extremely disturbing

They look so happy
This man has a very beautiful wife with a very big heart
Let you enjoy it on your own.
May Almighty God be with the couple and everyone in Ukraine. Stronger than the ever no matter how. Slava Ukrainian
15000 men and barely some women maybe 1 or 2. Get that right.
The fact that there are so much higher numbers of amputees shows how far combat medicine and equipment has advanced since ww2. Back then, a wound like that would likely have been fatal. That's why there were less, most of them didn't make it to achieve amputee status.
Casualties of WAR
lord bless and keep thee people please
Heroic guy & proudy with your family also honey which honestly & love you forvere. Energy mind to you & family guy. From : thailand.
Me hizo acordar de un soldado discapacitado colombiano fue hacer un rollo y cuando se levantó sufrió un tiro duro
Amazing eye watering zeal. I wish he becomes as normal as he can, so much pain and suffering for nothing. May the war end soon.
how when there is bbc?
Wow and may u be bless for ur effort and ur spouse love u and u should be proud of her and the strength she will give u and also have God at ur side with hope and always pray for miracles!!!-) God bless u and ur eye toward the stars!!!-)
Saddened. We don't want a world war III
If this conflict happen after Ukraine joining nato
We Will have a very big ww3
You should thank Putin
We still do not have a very big ww3
When will the horror end? This is such a waste of humanity. This grieves me.
Please inform your embassy as soon as possible or any other institute for helping me here in Pakistani punjab
This is sad....no human should suffer let's sit and talk
Those Ukrainian soldiers fought bravely and their revenge against evil is to live
They fought for the american way.
They must go back to the Frontline
"evil"? do you mean the WEF?
They are the evil and people like you who support them are evil.
They fought to promote interests of Blackrock and corporate America

The psychological shadow of a soldier after the war is enough to destroy his life

So beautiful
No more brother wars 😢
Why are comments on for this but not for othwr videos?
How will Ukraine take care of all of these people after the war??? Just sad kabuki....
I would 100% draft dodge. Respect to them but not for me.
This tragedy of having so many well respected warriors among the "disabled" population, could be the opportunity for societal mind shift regarding people with disabilities. Ukraine,, aming many other "Eastern " European nations, historically have not dedicated alot of resources on accessibility & services for those with disabilities.
It seems the Ukrainians have this opportunity to make changes from new infrastructure being most accessible, city planning re: accessible sidewalks, intersections, social facilities & businesses also will want to have accessibility featues. As these youth return to society, with their pre-war education & skills, perhaps businesses want to be accomodating in order to retain these brilluant, dedicated & brave youth.
Perhaps out of this tragic war will rise new societal attitudes, with greater accomodation & acceptance. Which positively impacts all of us with disabilities.
Perhaps this isn't "just wishful thinking"...
Remarkable woman
All for what? What did they gain?
They gained nothing tangible, only the sympathetic words from western people.
Andre, as a musician myself, & having lost my singing voice twice due to life threatening illness (COVID was one of the times), I understand the frustration of losing your voice. It will take even more hard work on your part, but you can get it back. I would highly recommend getting a speech therapist & a vocal coach to help you as soon as it's possible. In the meantime, just 15-20mins singing practice per day (with one day off each week) can work wonders in itself. Don't worry about how bad it sounds to you, the practice & hard work will pay off. Then you will enjoy all the benefits of singing again.
Responsible are those who encourage Ukraine to fight without giving them sufficient hardware to win and stop the war -
for "democracy" for american and western values, nice.
A beautiful soul, everyone who lives in democracy cherish it, take care of it be involved in politics volunteer meet with one's political reps I do regularly. With freedom comes responsibility to be involved. We read about folks on youtube espousing about the millions they have made in some endeavor in the US or Canada, well this is as they live in a democracy and they have the freedom to start their own business. Democracy will flourish but people must feel grateful and be actively involved in their countries democracy.
It's so disturbing to watch 😑
