Ukrainian Surgeon Bravely Treats Soldiers Amidst Russian Conflict

Nikitin has become familiar with a range of traumatic injuries, including explosive weapons such as landmines, artillery shells, and grenades.

The doctors work to stabilize the most severely wounded soldiers before transferring them to hospitals further from the front to free up beds for new arrivals. The soldiers have gruesome wounds, including shrapnel injuries, and cope with the pain through humor.
