The ground was a thicket of Russian land mines. Lethal. Too many to
avoid. Oleksandr Fedun, a soldier in the Ukrainian army, remembers
driving through the field and then a roar of fire, shrapnel and
light.
He leaped from the wreckage of his self-propelled howitzer. What was
left of his legs snapped and splintered when he hit the earth, alive
- miraculously - and with enough presence of mind to slip on two
tourniquets. The field hospital, though, was hours away.
