The story of the unbreakable warrior Mykola Vyuk and his Victory. Gromada's exclusive on the Day of Defenders of Ukraine from Orlando (USA)

The hero of the Ukrainian-Russian war, Mykola Vyuk, alias “Vyun,” who lost both legs near Kupyansk, fought for almost a year to walk. For almost 11 months, he did not know what it was like to be upright, being first bedridden and then in a wheelchair.

He was discouraged from prosthetics, arguing that his case was hopeless, so prosthetics were useless. They claimed that he would never be able to walk...

But the unbreakable warrior Mykola Vyuk did not give up. He looked death in the eye many times and each time came out of this battle victorious. So he wanted to win this time too. He wanted to get back on his feet at all costs.

And this dream has finally come true!

Today, despite a complicated case of high amputation and the refusal of all the clinics he went to, despite the pessimistic prognoses of doctors who only shook their heads hopelessly, Mykola has been fitted with bionic prostheses and is learning to walk on them.

He is proving once again that a strong-minded person can overcome even the most difficult circumstances.

Now Mykola is in the prosthetics center in Orlando in the United States. He is being fitted with the best prosthetists in the United States. This was made possible thanks to the Revived Soldiers Ukraine charitable foundation, volunteers and numerous donors in the United States.
