It did not take long for amputees to begin coming off the Ukrainian
battlefield. Our photographer captured their new fight, to lead
ordinary lives again.

In all of its decades of service, Truskavets City Hospital, an old
medical center serving a city in western Ukraine, never had to
specialize in treating amputees. But things change - sometimes in
seconds, and with the roar of an incoming rocket.

Now, Truskavets is part of Ukraine´s growing limb-replacement effort,
with two of its floors filled to near overflow with soldiers.
