For soldiers fighting on Ukraine’s front lines, a split second first aid decision can be the difference between life or death.
According to analysts, at least tens of thousands of soldiers have been wounded and killed on both sides since Russia’s invasion on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, although neither Kyiv nor Moscow have disclosed their losses. Every soldier is equipped with an individual first aid kit , which includes one or two tourniquet straps.
Faced with backlash and after 19 months of war, Ukraine’s defence ministry has only recently announced the creation of a medical department within its ranks. “I can’t read the language on some” first aid items, he told AFP, using Pylypenko as a translator to communicate with the soldiers.Although most of the soldiers had already undergone first aid training and applied it in combat, trainers say it is essential to practice and repeat the gestures regularly.To illustrate his point, Mossy told the story of some soldiers who had placed a tourniquet on a wounded man, which then loosened in transit.
