Soldier Vadym, call sign BILYI

I was mobilised on the 22nd of December, 2022. I served in the military unit 3005.

I was wounded on the 18th of March 2023 in the Serebrianskyi forest near Kreminna. While entering the position with my unit, I stepped on a mine, which resulted in the severance of my foot. I did not lose consciousness. I had a strong desire to get back on my feet. I got up and fell again. In a few minutes, my comrades came to me. They provided first aid and evacuated me to the surveillance control point. 

Then I was taken to Lyman, then to Izium. There I underwent surgery and had my right lower limb amputated at the level of the lower third of my shin. The next day I was transferred to the central hospital in Kharkiv. Five days later, I was transferred to the city hospital in Sumy, where I underwent treatment and rehabilitation.

A month and a half later, I returned home on crutches. My only wish was to walk again. I underwent prosthetics.

As of now, I need to have my stump socket replaced. I really want to feel like a normal person, to move freely without any restrictions.
