... The soldier, just 19 years old, survived a mine explosion. By the time he reached the Superhumans Center in Lviv, where Mohan and two other American doctors worked and taught for a few weeks last spring, he'd had makeshift surgery with a metal plate inserted to hold his jaw together. "Unfortunately, he developed an infection," Mohan recalled. "And so, when he came to us he basically was missing a big chunk of his lower jaw, and he was draining pus." In a 10-hour operation, Mohan and his team "took part of his bone from his leg with an artery and a vein attached to it ... and we screwed that into his jaw." He saw the results on a return visit to the Lviv hospital this past fall. "It healed great and he came back to see us in October and he had grown a beard," Mohan told me. The kicker: "He was back fighting on the front lines. It was bittersweet. We were happy because he was happy, but it was just a matter of time before something else happens. It almost felt like, is everything we're doing futile?" ...

It never ceases to amaze me why Pres Trump seems to be so reluctant to bring these brave and courageous Ukrainian freedom fighters into NATO to help the US protect Democracy in Europe against Russian aggression.
