How do you go on when war has destroyed your body?

In this episode of “In Crisis Mode”, FUNKE war and crisis reporter Jan Jessen meets severely injured Ukrainians – soldiers and civilians who lost limbs to rockets, drones, and explosions. They speak about surgeries, bionic prosthetics, high-tech rehabilitation – and the struggle to find a way back to life.

With the voices of Yaroslav, Oleksander, Glib, Ihor, Roman, and Vladym – men whose bodies are scarred, but who refuse to give up.
