He lost his legs fighting for Ukraine. But this story is about love 
through adversity.  

Sgt. Mykhailo (Misha) Varvarych, 28, a commander with Ukraine's 80th 
Airborne Assault Brigade, and his fiancée, Iryna (Ira) Botvynska, 19, 
navigate an altered destiny after he lost both legs earlier this year 
while fighting in Luhansk during Russia's invasion of Ukraine. For 
better or worse, this is a Ukrainian love story.  

Since June, they have been living in a tiny room at the Truskavets 
City Hospital near Lviv, in western Ukraine, where a growing legion 
of Ukraine's war wounded have come to seek healing and 
rehabilitation. More than 150 amputees have been treated so far at 
this facility alone. They lean on each other and face their  
drastically changed circumstances with dry wit, tenacity and grace.
