The statue of Ukrainian serviceman Oleksandr Matsievskyi, who was executed by Russian troops in 2022, arrives at a central square before a ceremony in his honour amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in his hometown Nizhyn, Ukraine, November 24, 2023. Ex-soldier and lawyer Masi Nayyem (not pictured), co-founder of Pryncyp, a human rights organisation representing soldiers, estimated that between 20,000 and 50,000 soldiers had become amputees in Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Official figures are not published and are considered sensitive by the military, but as the war drags into its third year with no end in sight, the numbers will only grow.
