Brit soldier vows to return to Ukraine as soon as he's 'rebuilt' after horror injuries

A British soldier who has been fighting in Ukraine and suffered injuries to every limb is determined to return to the front line as soon as possible.

Shareef Amin joined the war in Ukraine - the country where his fiancée Helen Vitvickaja is from - as soon as it broke out, initially providing humanitarian support before signing up as a soldier.

Amin was attacked with shells and artillery blasts during a reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines in October and spent three months in hospital as a result of his injuries, which consisted of bullet wounds, shrapnel in all four limbs and punctures to both lungs.
