Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – With their prosthetic limbs on the pitchside, a group of wounded Ukrainian servicemen play football as a way of moving forward and adapting to their life-changing injuries. “I knew there was a risk” says Oleksandr, who lost his leg to a Russian shell near Kharkiv. “It’s not easy to withstand this” says another player, Oleg, who has seen others break down after suffering serious injuries on the conflict’s frontlines.
