‘Everyone is afraid…Even the bravest ones, it doesn’t matter. Everyone has fear.’
25-year-old Ivan works as a surgeon in Donbass, close to the frontline. The doctor treats injured soldiers from both sides and civilians who came under artillery fire — without judging. Ivan has seen severely wounded and fallen, and has learned a lot from working in the war zone: ‘Life is a very fragile thing. It’s about time, the timing of the arrival: the sooner the better, of course.’
An inspiring story of a young Donbass doctor is in our video.
