Oleksandr Chaika was an athlete and dancer in Ukraine when the war 
broke out. He joined the military in March 2022, but was struck by a 
tank shell in April. The explosion covered him in dirt, infecting his 
leg wounds, and leading to gangrene that would require a full leg 
amputation. A comrade of Chaika´s was also injured but was able to 
request support from a separate team who rescued both soldiers.  

Duckworth, a former U.S. military helicopter pilot, lost both of her 
legs in 2005 while serving in Iraq. She spoke to Chaika, pledging  
support from the U.S. Senate both to him and to Ukraine.
