Healing the Psychic Wounds of Ukraine's Soldiers

The extreme violence of Russia's war in Ukraine has caused a surge in psychiatric casualties among soldiers. Hospitals in Ukraine cannot manage the volume of psychiatric casualties coming in, and commanders need their troops back. Pavlivka, a Kyiv psychiatric hospital, has opened an overflow unit with 100 beds to treat soldiers with severe mental illnesses. The soldiers' stories are full of trauma, including the inability to sleep, panic attacks, and withdrawal from loved ones.
