Ukrainian army medics fight to save lives near frontline

Medics treat wounded Ukrainian soldiers inside a frontline medical stabilisation point, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, near Vuhledar, Donetsk region, Ukraine, February 19, 2023.

The costs of that deadly grind are clear to the team of medics and nurses as it toils away, hemmed in by racks of medical supplies and portable heaters, at this stabilisation point in the Donetsk region where battles are fierce.
