Oleksandr Revtiukh, 33, a Ukrainian serviceman who lost his left arm and most of his left leg in multiple mine blasts in 2023, shows off his boxing moves after spending time in a sauna with a friend in his hometown, during his first visit after his injury amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Nizhyn, Ukraine, November 25, 2023. Revtiuh is one of thousands of combat amputees having to adapt to a new life as a civilian in a country where amputees say that budget constraints, social taboos and a lack of job opportunities are making that transition more difficult. "Imagine you are a newborn without an arm and a leg. Some things you know from before but beyond that you will get to know the world from scratch," he said. "Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Look for a way out, there is a path through the thorns to the stars. This is my motto." REUTERS/Thomas Peter SEARCH "THOMAS UKRAINE AMPUTEES" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.
