Where Ukraine’s army of amputees go to repair their lives

As Ukraine's counter-offensive grinds on - with limited gains and no decisive breakthrough - the number of amputees in the country is soaring.

There were 15,000 in the first half of this year alone, according to the Department of Health in Kyiv. The ministry won't disclose how many are soldiers. The authorities guard casualty figures closely, but the vast majority are likely to be military.

That's more amputees in six months than the UK had in the six years of World War II, when 12,000 of its servicemen and women lost limbs.

There may be many more to come in Europe's newest war. Ukraine is the most heavily mined country in the world, according to the country's former defence minister, Oleksii Reznikov.

Russia's war is creating an army of amputees here, a conveyor belt of broken bodies.

We meet some of them at a rehabilitation clinic in the capital, Kyiv, and a hospital in south-east Ukraine.
