Wounds outside, wounds inside

 Oleksandr is the only one who survived the whole family during an attempt to evacuate from Bucha, which was occupied by the Russian forces. The family was fleeing out from Bucha in the car when the Russian soldiers opened fire on them. Oleksandr saw how his wife and two sons who were nine and four years old were killed. He was seriously injured.
 Oleksandrは、ロシア軍に占領されたブチャから家族全員で避難しようとしたが、ただ一人の生き残りとなってしまった。一家がブチャから車で脱出する途中、ロシア兵に銃撃されたのだ。Oleksandrは、目の前で妻と9歳と4歳の息子が殺害される様を目の当たりにした。そして彼自身も重傷を負った。

 People with whole families who had tried to evacuate from the occupied settlements became a target for Russian guns and tanks.
 Doctors treat the wounds and take care of lost limbs, however many patients lost not only health, but also relatives and loved ones because of Russian bullets, shrapnel, mines, and missiles. Ukrainian doctors and nurses are fighting for the lives of patients, often struggling not only with physical injuries but also with the despair of patients who had lost the value of their own lives.
 ロシア軍に占領された地域から家族全員で避難しようとした人々は、ロシア軍の銃撃や戦車の砲撃の的となった。
 医師たちは傷や失われた手足の治療をする。しかし、ロシアの銃弾、榴散弾、地雷、ミサイルにより、多くの患者は健康だけでなく、親族や愛する人をも失ってしまった。ウクライナの医師や看護師たちは、患者たちの命を守るために戦っている。そして時には身体的な負傷だけでなく、生きていく価値を見失う程の患者たちの絶望にも向き合っているのだ。
