Minnesota Prosthetics Clinic Aids Ukrainian War Veterans With Rehabilitation

OAKDALE, MINNESOTA - JUNE 11: Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier and double amputee Yevhen Berdnyk (C), 40, performs clapping push ups while exercising at the Protez Foundation's clinic on June 11, 2024 in Oakdale, Minnesota. Veterans of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, Berdnyk and injured soldiers like him have traveled to Minnesota to receive free prosthetics, physical therapy, counseling and other care from the foundation, a Twin Cities clinic co-founded by Chief Medical Officer Yakov Gradinar and CEO Yury Aroshidze, both originally from Ukraine. A Special Forces solider, Berdnyk lost both of his legs in August of 2023 when he stepped on a land mine while fighting on the frontlines near Zaporizhzhia. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
