Summary at a Glance

Intelligence soldier Andrii Rubliuk, 38, lost both arms and a leg when he was struck by an explosive.

According to figures revealed by President Volodymyr Zelensky, his country has 380,000 wounded personnel, with many brigades having at least one amputee back on active duty.

Leonid Lobchuk, a soldier with Ukraine’s 127th brigade, lost his leg during a border conflict in 2015.

Maksym Vysotskyi, 42, lost his left leg when stepping on a landmine after a drone mission in November 2023.

But he remains undeterred, smiling for a photo in front of a howitzer in the Kharkiv region earlier this month.
