Almost a year after the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, tens of thousands of people — both military and civilians — were injured. Many now live with disabilities: without limbs or eyes or with severe injuries to internal organs.

Understanding the way that war-traumatized Ukrainians live is crucial to grasp the problem. Journalist and comic writer Anastasia Opryshchenko talked about this with Oleksandr Budek (call sign “Teren”), a soldier of the “Karpatska Sich” battalion, who lost both legs on the Raisin route.
