Mykhaylo Bielov, 31, a soldier with Ukraine’s nationwide guard, was defending the jap metropolis of Bakhmut on Dec. 31, 2022, when a Russian grenade exploded above his head.
“I keep in mind a white mild and the way it went out,” he mentioned. “I keep in mind placing out the fireplace on my uniform and spitting out my tooth.”
Emergency surgical procedure at Mechnikov Hospital saved his life. He spent a month in a coma. His restoration will take years.
