[CTRANA] Between 20,000 and 50,000 Ukrainians have lost one or more limbs since the start of the war.
The Wall Street Journal writes about this, noting that these figures are comparable to the damage caused by the First World War.
The publication cites the data with reference to the Kyiv charitable organization Houp Foundation and the German manufacturer of prostheses Ottobock. The latter, in turn, rely on the data of the leadership of Ukraine and partner companies.
The article notes that the actual number of injured may be even higher, since the process of prosthetics takes a long time.
Regarding the Ukrainian military, the publication writes that at the beginning of Moscow's invasion, the main causes of amputations were artillery and rocket attacks. Now, military personnel are mostly injured by Russian mines during the counteroffensive.
As we reported, for the first time in Ukraine, a prosthesis was implanted into the bone. Such an operation already on the second day allows you to take the first steps, and after six months - to fully walk.
The first patient who underwent such an operation was 56-year-old captain of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Krupnov. In the fall, he lost both legs, blown up by a mine while riding in a car with fighters on a mission.

It is also reported that doctors record few gunshot wounds, many are delivered after being injured due to mines.
As IA Regnum reported , former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter believes that the Ukrainian authorities intended to launch a quick counteroffensive, but instead the Ukrainian Armed Forces were involved in a war of attrition, in which they are losing.
Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev said that the Russian military is not only repelling the Ukrainian counteroffensive, but preventing a world conflict, since in the event of the rejection of part of Russian territory, Moscow would be forced to take extreme measures.
