    The Wider Image: One Ukrainian war amputee’s return to civilian

    A man halts traffic on Khreshchatyk Street to assist a friend in a wheelchair to cross central Kyiv's main thoroughfare, amidst Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv, Ukraine December 10, 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. REUTERS/Thomas Peter
