More information about the wounded:

Bohdan, a volunteer with the 93rd Brigade was wounded on December 1 2015 near the village of Pisky. That day he together with a comrade were blown up by a mine – his fellow soldier was killed and Bohdan received shrapnel injuries to his arms and eyes.
After first aid, the fighter was taken in Dnipropetrovsk, where his eye injuries were treated. Then the soft tissue wounds to his arms were treated in Odessa. No treatment of Bohdan’s fracture was performed.

Bohdan lives in the Brodivs’kyi district of the Lviv Oblast. Before the war, worked as an editor at one of the regional newspapers.
