The story of Yuri from Vinnytsia, who came under fire from the Russian Federation and received 65% burns on his body – photo

Yury Mysak, a resident of Vinnytsia, is being rehabilitated in Lviv, who on July 14, 2022 was hit by a Russian missile attack on the city and suffered 65% burns.

At that moment, the man and his friend were in the car, they had to go on business, according to the Ministry of Health.

As a result of the explosion, the car burst into flames, the men ended up on the asphalt. Yuriy, recalling that moment, says that everything was like in a scary movie in slow motion: fire, blood, debris, mutilated people, gutted cars. There is a ringing in the ears, and the taste of iron in the mouth.

Until now, a man cannot do many things on his own – walk, dress, put on shoes

Yuriy was first sent to the Pirogov regional hospital, then to Lviv, and from there to Poland for a month and a half.

After returning to Ukraine, scars began to grow on the man’s body. According to him, the pain did not subside for almost a moment. Currently, the man is receiving treatment and undergoing rehabilitation within the framework of the “Unburned” project, where Ukrainians are treated free of charge for non-domestic burns and scars.
