Soldier Volodymyr, call sign KAIDA

I am a senior soldier Volodymyr, call sign KAIDA, who was called up for military service in March 2022 to the 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade as a gunner.

I was wounded on 6.09.22 during an assault on a plantation belt near Krasnohorivka. I remember a powerful explosion, I fell and immediately realised that I could not feel my legs. My comrades quickly came to my aid. Despite the difficult combat situation, technician Mykhas' Buk and other guys managed to pull me out of the shelling and evacuate me to a stabilisation point in Kurakhove settlement.

Then Dnipro city followed. There I underwent amputation of my right foot. In addition, I sustained a fracture of my left leg and of the femoral neck. I suffered two strokes, underwent complex treatment and rehabilitation. 
 

The next step is hip joint replacement. Without this operation, I will not be able to start prosthetics. I will be grateful to everyone for your help.

Despite my severe injury, I dream, like all Ukrainians, of Victory. I imagine myself travelling around our homeland and planning the list of things I need to see.
