He looked like he was working and doing what he loved, his family, his kids. And it all ended suddenly. Amputation one, two. I cried bitterly and realized that this was the end of the world. How can I lose my legs and arms, even though they console me that everything will be okay and that prosthetics will be made? “I thought, ‘Why did I let such people live?’” Kostomarov said.
