More information about the wounded:

Volodymyr was mobilized to the 30th Brigade (from Novograd Volyn). He received the gunshot wound to his arm on July 30, 2014, in the village of Stepanivka, near Savur-Mohyla. Together with fellow soldiers Volodymyr picked up a flamethrower, which had been left in the street. Along the way, he was ambushed and came under fire.
Wounded, he was immediately sent to Severodonetsk, then to Dnipropetrovsk, and Kyiv. Volodymyr endured six operations on his arm. During treatment at one of the hospitals in a fight he broke the plates fixed to his shoulder. Then the bone fused improperly. After treatment in public hospitals, Volodymyr received group three disability status and was dismissed from the Armed Forces.
