The Wider Image: Ukrainian army medics fight to save lives

Blood and mud marks the floor next to a pair of boots and the helmet of a wounded Ukrainian soldier, who is being treated in the operating room of a frontline medical stabilisation point, amid Russia’s attack on Ukraine, near Vuhledar, Donetsk region, Ukraine, February 19, 2023. Adrenaline helps keep the medical team going and enables them to cope with the almost constant flow of wounded soldiers, including some Russians who are later exchanged for Ukrainian prisoners.
