In a Ukrainian hospital ward for wounded soldiers, where daylight barely penetrates, a father talks to his injured son for hours. Serhii Shumei never scolded Vitalii for choosing to go to war. Even now, despite the damage done to his son's brain by an exploding artillery shell, Serhii feels pride, not pity.
In a Ukrainian hospital ward for wounded soldiers, where daylight barely penetrates, a father talks to his injured son for hours. Serhii Shumei, 64, never scolded Vitalii for choosing to go to war. Even now, despite the damage done to his son's brain by an exploding artillery shell, Serhii feels pride, not pity.
The Donbas towns of Bakhmut and Soledar have been turned into hellscapes as a result. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described them as "completely destroyed," strewn with corpses and craters, and with "almost no life left."Vitalii was wounded Aug. 25 on another section of the Donbas frontline, in Adviivka, about 70 kilometres south of Bakhmut. The shell that struck his dugout set off other explosives.
They're sent by grateful Ukrainians who urge Vitalii to "Hold on to life! We really need you!" and say "You are strong! You will manage!"
