The 37-year-old father of four is one of 14 sappers who have returned to their demining jobs in a national police unit of some 100 people, despite being wounded in blasts while clearing mines during Russia's invasion. "She was a bit surprised, shocked. But she has accepted it," he told Reuters while working in the Kharkiv region this week.

Valeri Onul, another sapper, also returned to work in the unit despite losing a leg in a blast in November.
