"Resilient Ukrainian Sniper Overcomes 16 Surgeries to Rejoin Front Lines"

A Ukrainian sniper, identified as Sasha, revealed in an interview that he underwent 16 operations to recover from severe injuries sustained in battle, including damage to his chest, legs, and face. Despite visible remnants of his injuries, Sasha returned to the front lines. The sniper's unit, part of Ukraine's security services (SBU), aims to demoralize Russian troops through "sniper terror." While the unit claims to have inflicted substantial damage, no kill count was reported. Snipers prioritize activities like reconnaissance and relaying battlefield information to artillery units. The SBU snipers were seen using American-made Barrett sniper rifles, which have become popular among Ukrainian marksmen.
