BBC: Wounded soldiers face new battle in Ukraine
Ukrainian soldier Serhiy Hordiychuk divides his life into what came before and what came after Monday 4 August.
The father of two had been fighting pro-Russian separatists in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine and on that day his unit was near the village of Marynivka in the south-east, 4km (2.5 miles) from the Russian border.
Suddenly he and his comrades came under heavy shelling from Grad rockets. He says they were fired from behind the border.
He was severely wounded and lost his left arm.

The limb itself costs 22,000 euros (£17,000; $28,000) and should take up to three months to fit. But for a builder, whose average monthly income is 200 euros, this sum is barely affordable.
The government can cover around 16% of the money required. That would be enough only for an outdated artificial arm with limited functions.
Instead, government support is largely confined to providing the wounded with free medical care.

Be a good use for some of that aid package i.e. tangible.
