Ukrainian Surgeon Bravely Treats Soldiers Amidst Russian Conflict

TL;DR Summary
Petro Nikitin, the lead trauma surgeon at a military hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine, operates on soldiers all day long amid Russia's war. The hospital is short-staffed because physicians were pulled away to work in field hospitals closer to the front. Nikitin has become familiar with a range of traumatic injuries, including explosive weapons such as landmines, artillery shells, and grenades. He tries to return these people to a normal life, but sometimes they are forced to amputate a soldier's arm or leg.
